Avon Venom 41 MT90-15??

[AJSCRAPER]

I’ve been riding with the smaller front tire for many mile now, love the performance and handling. I've tried most of the various brands mentioned on this site and my all time favorite, by far, is the Avon Venom. I’ve been looking around some of usual suppliers and it appears the MT90-15 front is No longer available. I checked Avon’s home web page in the UK and it’s no longer listed, Bummer!!! Can anyone confirm this?

Scraper...I think the bigger question is...WHy would you want a 15" tire for the FRONT ???

 

What bike are you putting a 15" tire on the front of ????

Sorry, I meant 16" of course

Avon Venoms are in the process of being replaced by Avon Cobra.

 

However, Cobras are not yet available for the Venture! I bought tires (Avons) on Saturday, that's how I know.

Thanks for the feedback! I have one new set of Venoms left. hopefully the Cobras will be available by the time they need replacing, and they perform just as well if not better

 

Thanks Again

How does an Elite 3 compare to an Avon?

[AJSCRAPER]

I began the smaller front tire experiment some years ago before the Elite 3 was available. At that time the Metezlers and the Avons were the top contenders. I settled in on the Avons and have not tried anything else since. Now that they are discontinued, I was hoping this thread would generate some new information.

Thanks for the suggestion!

First AJ hello from another Ohio guy. I work at Sidleys in Thompson.

 

I bought an Avon Venom for the rear last year and love the tire. I need a front tire this spring. Any ideas on a good match to the Venom?

I'm using the Michelin CII on the rear with a 150/80-16 Avon on the front...BECAUSE I tried the 130 and didn't like it at all on my TD. I like the Michelin, and if I could get the correct size tire I'd use them front and rear. They make a 130/90, but no 150/80.
