Following on from the testing I was doing for Avon and their dual compound Azaro rear, we're now at 8k miles and 3mm depth at the centre. I know it sounds strange but in the last 4-5k miles, the wear has been negligible. More importantly, there's verey little sign of any sqauring off.
Despite all the good aspects of the DC Azaro, it looks like Avon will never put this tire into production (?). As sooner or later I'll need a new rear, I got to looking at their 150/80-16 Cobra rear. I couldn't work out if it was a radial tire or not until I read this
http://motorcycle-tire-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/our-review-of-avon-cobra-radial-cruiser.html . Other web reports say that the Venom 150/80-16 was dropped and replaced by the Cobra.
So, is the Cobra really a radial and has anyone tried one yet?
