Whats your alls thoughts on either set?

I have seen where alot of folks here run the Avon's but they were 300 a set and that is getting way out of my price range when I have to also pay to have them put on..

check out jakewilson.com set of avons around 250 and free freight. avon is offering 25 rebate through may I think. research site ref avons and cracking. many are going to elite 3. hope this helps.

Forget the Conti Tour TK17 . I just tried one and only have only about 4000 miles on it and it is worn out! I thought it was going to be a good purchase too. My advice, forget it!!! Too soft rubber.

I've got the Kruz on my 89 and am happy with them so far (only about 2,000 miles on them).

 

If you decide to go that route buy them from me! Thunder Valley Powersports

 

When you enter the coupon code "VentureRider" at checkout it knocks 15% of which will save you a few bucks over the price in your post.

THE motorcycle superstore has good prices on michellins and pirelli, I like michellins have seen good milege out of them, the pirelli I don't like at all, but thats my opinion, some on here like them.

If you a ama member there is a discount and they have free shipping

I tried a set of Conti Tours, TK 16 and 17, on my Venture Royale. They worked just fine, but...

 

Only got 7,000 miles out of the front, and 6,000 out of the rear. Replaced the front with a Shinko Tourmaster 230, and only got 6,000 miles out of that one. I replaced the Shinko with a Dunlop Elite 3, and so far so good.

 

So, I wouldn't get the Continentals. They do fine, except you won't be getting much mileage out of them.

 

The Michelin Commander I have on the rear right now will be good for about 9,000 miles. I'll be replacing it next week with another one just like it.

 

Never tried the Kenda Kruz.

Do you carry a 130-90-16 tire for the front on the 2nd Gens? I'll be needing a new front soon, and I'd rather spend my money doing business with a dedicated VentureRider. (Especially one that offers a 15% discount!)

The Kruz is not available in the 130-90-16 size. I'm not sure what mistake I'd made earlier that made me think it was available.
