No more Avon Venom AM41 (stock front)

[Mike G in SC]

I just got back from a STAR Touring BBQ in Branson, MO.

2500 miles, 900 of it MO & AR twists and whoop-t-doos.

(rode straight home,950 miles yesterday,,, whew. About 18 hours.)

 

So, my stock size Venom is now shot (now at 22k)

I called my dealer to get another and was told they can't get it anymore.

I looked on Bike Bandit and saw it only on CLOSEOUT for stock size.

 

Guess that narrows the field again on stock size 150/80-16.

No Avon, no Michilen Commander II. So I am having them put on a Dunlop E-3 Friday.

If you have never had the E3's, your gonna like them.

Motorcycle super store still shows them as well as Dennis Kirk. Even if they are on close out you can get them and still have a couple years to debate what to go with next.

New front tires on my RSTD and RSV less than 5,000 miles each. I'm good for a while.

 

I'm happy with the Dunlop on the RSV so far. And I didn't have any problems when I ran Metzlers.

Dion,

I thought about doing that, but I've got a good relationship with my dealer and been thinking about the E3 anyhow. They also discount install on tires they sell.

 

I do have the Michelin Commander 2 on the rear of my Venture and RSTD.

When the RSTD front gets worn, might try the samller Commander 2 on it.

(but for mostly 2-up lowereed Venture, want to stay with the stock size.)

I can respect that. Its hard to find a good dealer that takes care of customers. If they give you a deal on mounting etc thats cool.

Avon still has the front tire listed. So I am not sure why our dealer can't get them.
