Cords Showing

- superbeast from Lancaster, OH
From the other reviews here, I don't know what's going on with mine. I've got the Avon Venom rear tire on a Yamaha Roadstar. The tire is less than 1yr old with 5900 miles and the cord is showing in one spot. I had to lock it up once when someone pulled out in front of me. I guess that caused a bad spot which caused fast wear.

Avon AV55/AV56

- Alan from Spokane/Elk , WA USA
I ran these tires on a 2004 Kawasaki Concours overall I am very happy. I got great traction in all conditions and reasonable wear. I have 2/32 tread left at 10k with very minor cupping on the rear. I commute 60 miles a day with 30 miles being mild twisties and 20 miles multilane. The only reason I am going to go to a different tire is that Avon stopped making my rear size

Over 20,000 Miles

- Bill from Bartlett
I had to replace the stock tires on my 2005 Royal Star Tour Deluxe at 10,000 miles, being that I ride about 20,000 miles a year, I would have been changing them twice a year.
The dealership I shop at told me to try the Venoms, I was elated, I put over 20,000 on them and they gave me a great ride no matter the roads or weather.
I plan to get another set this spring in preperation for that 4,000- 5,000 mile vacation and recommend them to anybody riding a big cruiser. Good Riding

Excellant Touring Tire

- Bobby Moody from Tampa Florida USA
This is my third set of Avon Venom X Touring Tires. I have put them on a Harley-Davidson 2003 Road Glide, 2006 Street Glide and on my 2007 Ultra Classic Screaming Eagle. Below is a list of my results.

Positive rolling tires adds approx .75 MPG more.
I can hear my stereo at 80 MPH.
The bike is easier to turn at slow speeds.
I can lay the bikes farther over in turns with great traction.
I average 13 to 16K miles on rear with 25K on the front. Usually one up!
Great in Florida rain.
I run Nitrogen in my tires and I rarely have to add more Nitrogen.
The rear tire will hold twice the weight of OEM Harley-Davidson Tire.
Both Tires are substantially less expensive than OEM tires.
Mesh Bridge Grates are no problem.

With a Avon 150 on the rear the bikes sets slightly lower.
I get tired of trying to explain Avon tires to Hardcore HD Bikers.
Heavy loads will wear the rear tire quicker than normal.

The above results are from my experiences, not what I have read, been told or been sold on. Proper inflation is everything with this tire. Your results may very.

Handle Excellent, Wear Fast

- Brian from Vermont from USA
I put a Venom X 150/80 16 on the rear of my 06 Heritage Classic and it has just gone past the tread in the middle to where it is now bald. I've put 6,000 miles on. 95% of the time 2 up. My wife is 140 and I am 205. Up side is the handle of the bike is so much better than the D404 that was on it.

Maybe Bad Luck...Maybe the tires

- Mike from Baltimore
There were several times that these tires slipped a bit and I let it go. Only last week I went around a turn and the tire gave out like I was on ice and down I went. I inspected the road for gravel or oil...nothing. I entered the turn at 30 mph, on a turn I have taken a 100 times far more aggressively. I have no idea why other than the tire. Today I am having them replaced. The day was sunny and hot and the road was smooth...go figure.

Avon venoms on a sportster sport.

- Peter from East coast Australia
I'm onto my second set of avon venom tyres. They have lasted well. About 20,000klm front and 10-15,000 for the back (250 kilogram bike). Mostly used on highways and suburban streets. They stick to the road. No slide outs, even when leaned to the limit. In the wet they grip as well as in the dry. (watch out for fuel or oil patches though.) Only ever slightly aquaplaned once at 100klm p/h in a super heavy thunderstorm. Would not hesitate to fit them again.
