Front Radial

[MAINEAC]

Anyone have or considering a front radial tire... Avon and Dunlop have them in our size 150/80R16... The new Avon Cobra and the Dunlop D251 which are listed for Gold Wings and are 71V which is are rated for 149 mph and 760 lbs Load rating... looks like this may be a pretty good setup... i don't think I'll get more than 2K more miles out of my Avon Venom front... I'll probably get the Dunlop as I'm not too impressed with Avon Tyres..

 

According to some websites these tires fit Honda VTXs and Kawi Vulcan 2000... Oh Yeah BTW Bridgestone makes a Radial in our size too.

Keep us posted on this..if you go to a front radial...I have been thinking about that move myself...but at present my 130/80 Elite III is doing what I want very well....

Once I got my sweet spot on, everything else just went away...but I am still curious about the front radial, but more so for the mileage side of the idear....
