Installed these at the same time I put the centramatics on. Great ride and very smooth to begin with, but had to replace the back tire at 6500 miles. Tire was completely worn out and extremely cupped. Was hoping to get a lot more miles out of the tire than that, especially since I was meticulous about keeping correct tire pressure. Front tire will probably be replace in less than a 1000 miles, so needless to say, I'm not a big fan of Avon Cobra tires. If I was rating on handling capabilities, it would be a 10. But add it all up and I won't be buying these tires again.

Put front and rear Cobras on 17K miles ago. I had a nail in the rear and replaced it with another Cobra insted of repair. It had 3/32 at the wear bar and I would have gone a while longer and done front and rear at the same time. Yes it was cupped and made some noise in sweeping turns but that only seemed to become really noticeable the last 3K miles I'd guess.
Have always run 41 front and rear and put the cetramatics on at about 2K into their run. I check other guys tires all the time to see how my wear might compare to theirs and comparisons have always been in favor of my Cobras. Great tire and I'll stay with them as long as no-one else has something magical. Todays ride was totally SMOOTH.

After placing over 15,000 miles on these tires, I am as impressed with their handling as I was after the first 1,000 miles. The tires have proven to be the best I've ever installed on my Wing. Quite, excellent in dry or wet conditions, sticks to the pavement, no cupping front or rear and high mileage/extended wear (When properly inflated, 39 front & 41 rear) is my experience with this tire. The only tire I'll install on the Wing from this point on.

have rode 85000 miles had all brands more then once going back too cobra strayed to dunlop never again back for good till another tire invented

Bought these tires last June, had them installed by local Honda shop front and rear. I'm just over four thousand miles and the rear is beginning to cup. I have been relicious about tire pressure maintaining 40 PSI front and 41 rear. Also found what i thought was a nail in it and it turned out to be a manufacturing flaw. A dime size solid chunk of what i think is belt material in the tire. Pulled it out and it left a puck about 1/4" deep 1/2" round. I intend to contact Wing Stuff tomorrow, but I may be sent to Avon. I'll let you know how it turns out. Really disapointed because these were riding pretty nice until now.
