Announced on 14th Jan (I managed to get a pair for my Streetglide at the end of last year before the announcement - not fitted yet)

 British-based Avon Tyres has extended its Cobra motorcycle tyre range, introducing four new sizes to suit the latest Harley-Davidson Big Twin model updates. There are two new front fitments, 130/60 B19 and 130/60 B21, suitable for the Street Glide and CVO Breakout models, among others. On the rear, riders can now choose the Cobra in 160/70 B17 and 180/55 B18 sizes. Avon has a long history of producing motorcycle tyres in custom and cruiser fitments. Its Cobra range combines the super-tough construction necessary for heavy-duty custom loads, with sports tyre technology for improved handling and performance. Avon’s Cobra tyre is renowned for its outstanding mileage and long life. Featuring the distinctive Cobra tread pattern, the new fitments also sport the unique Cobra 'snakeskin' effect sidewall logo

Great news! Nice to have more options. Been running Avon's on my '86 FXR for years.

I've used Avon tires with great success over a several year period although never on a touring bike, mainly because they have not been available in the sizes that I need.....until now. Definitely something to consider even though I'll have a few years to decide.

Pricing is not bad either;

within $10 for the pair of the American elites.  may have to try them coming up.  I've got 18,000 on my elites right now, but there is still a lot of tread life left.  I have no plans (so far) for any long road trips this year, so I was going to run them until fully worn.  then i'll either replace with another set, or try these.
