I went with Excedra Max 240 55R16 on the rear from Rocky Mountain ATV; great price, great tire.

I'll second (or third) Rocky Mountain ATV. I don't think they carry the Cruistecs (assuming they or anyone ever has them in stock, anyway). I'm using the same pairing for front and back @rick danger said, above. As mentioned in other posts, the Exedra Max on the rear is 1/2" taller, which will change the geometry of the bike- for the better. It requires a slight fender modification that is very easy to do.

Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling

I think the 240 Avon Cobra Chrome is a goner. No mas, extinct. With the UK motorcycle plant closing down time to make other arrangements. I would assume although I dig the tire and wish it wasn't true, Avon won't make them anymore. I have been looking for a few months and they are truly...

I went with a Cruisetec for my rear - only issue is that they weren't in stock anywhere and I didn't want to wait 1.5 months. Eventually found 1 on Ebay which shipped here (USA) from Italy. Had to spend a little extra on shipping, but it turned out to be worth it.

I'm not sure if that little fender is ABS or not, but my plan is to put a block of wood between the fender and the tire and hit the appropriate spots with a heat gun. I'll report back on whether I ruin it or not. ha ha.....and hopefully the lamonster tail tidy wont hit. I'll probably crank up the preload a bit.

I’m not looking forward to when I have to change mine. Most people talk about the exedra max but I’m already on my tip toes as it is so raising the bike up higher is a no go for me.
