Looking for tyres in Australia

No Avons Cobra available
No Metzeler Cruzetec available
Only available option is Australia at the moment is Bridgestone Exedra MAX 240/55R16 Rear and Bridgestone Exedra G701F 150/80R17 Front

Has anyone fitted Bridgestone one with 55 profile? please provide feedback. Does it mess with traction control or rear fender? hoe is the grip compared to other 2?

if you drive normallly then go for it but if you drive rocket like sharp turns, high speeds turns, then I would not suggest bridgestone for front, front must be either cruisetec or cobra.

bridgestone rubber is bit on stiff/harder side as compare to cobra hence grip could be an issue.

I am running Cruisetec Metzler for Front at the moment
Rear, I took my chance with Bridgestone 240 55 r16,
since I have done tail tidy mod, for installing bridgestone 55 I didnt need anything but heat gun
i observed changed with 55 tire, bike has gained height, less grippy on road for me since rubber is on little hard side but runs fine on very high speeds in a straight line, feels like bit different in turns since tire is bit bigger

According to Goodyear, their Avon brand is now only available in EMEA, so that probably contributes to the lack of supply elsewhere.

As for Metzeler: who knows?

I have had Avon tyres on order for 2 months
