no .. . matter of fact I found one ( 140/80/r17) yes I know it is a rear but it fits purfectly the front wheel (turned around naturally) now I have two sets of my fav tires on a shelf and good rubber mounted so I figure two or three seasons worth,,
this is the one but only paid $ 149 Avon AV46 Azaro-ST Sport Touring 140/80 x 17 Rear Tire | Old Bike Barn

@albertaduke , I would like to try one of them. I just installed a Avon Cobra 140/75VR17 (about .570" in diameter smaller the the Azzaro) on my front to see if how it rides being smaller whilst my rear suspension lifted. Hopefully I can test her out tomorrow and if needed change adjust the length of the rear and maybe mess around with the compression adjustment up front. Of course I am hoping no adjustments are needed (DOUBT IT) so I can ride more
 
these azaro in that size have been discontinued good luck finding one ..

Ya that is why I went with the Cobra. I am also going to try a set of the Michelin Commander II tires front and back to see how well they wear having both the same type on the front and back.

let us know how they compare..
 
I have Avons on the front and back. They were on the 2007 bike last year when I bought it used, with only 6000 miles. I assume it's the second set of tires but I don't know when they were put on the bike. There seems to me a lot of tread but the ride seems a little squirrely. Could the tires be brittle because of age? Even though they wear out faster, I prefer the softer Metzlers.
 
Have about 1,000 miles on Cobra Avon's . Rides a lot better than the Metzlers. Thought the Avon's would not do well on wet pavement, thought wrong. Not only better Handling but the tires look great on the Rocket X.
