R3T Tires: Avon Cobras or Excedras.

[Tank]

I'm interested in everyone's input. It's time for new tires. I got about 14,000KM on my stock Metzlers.

I was thinking about going to the Avon Cobras or Michelin Exedras.

I have a 2014 Triumph Rocket III Touring with the ECU unlocked, RamAir and TORS so a chunk more than stock power.

Thoughts please?

I know it's been beaten to near death in the past, but I want to ensure there isn't any fresh opinions.

I don't know how you got almost 9,000 Miles out of the Metz, I barely got 6,000 out of mine. the Excedra Max V rated radial I now have on the front has 10,000 Miles on it now. I haven't seen an Avon V rated radial to compare for the front. On the rear I have an Excedra Max V rated radial to match, the first one ran almost 8,000 Miles till I picked up a nail and replaced it. I hope to get more out of the present tire. The wet performance and overall have been very good with these tires. I have Tors and a Triumph tune on a 2009.

Just put on Michelin commanders ll on my 2013 R3T way better than the Metz. Ride and handling much better!!

I know I have an R3R not a Touring but I have Exedra Max on rear and Avon Cobra front and I'm very happy with handling, wear seems to be ok so far only 4,000km's to date and going well.

 

[Tripps]

Real happy with Cobras. Never did the Execdra, so IDK

I also have an R3T with a dyno tune, RamAir and Tors. I put Exedra Max front and rear, only mine are made by Bridgestone . Improved the ride and the handling. When they wear out I will probably replace with the same.

My brother ran the Exedra (NOT MAX) on his Roadliner and was very disappointed in the mileage.
Handling was fine.
