I'm running with one now. No complaints so far but I've got less than 3k on it.

I recently put one on my 08, been running avon on it forever. They recently quit the venom brand and now most HD application are cobra. I really like avon tires.

I've never gotten 15k out of a rear tire yet.

This will be my 1st Avon tire. The said there is 15,000 mile warranty.
I don't know how the milage can be proved. Here is their advertisement. Here is how to make a claim.

Just ordered me a set of these Avons for my 07 with 21" front and 18" rear. Will report back on how I like or dislike them after I install them.

This is the US mileage warranty page:

http://www.avonmoto.com/warranty/mileage-warranty

Read the entire thing and you will find it's about as useful as those 80 month battery warranties.  You have to buy the tire and have it installed by a dealer, register the tires with Avon, if it wears to the tread wear indicators before 15,000 miles you have to go to the tire dealer, pay for a new tire to be installed, contact Avon for an RMA, ship the old tire back to Avon where they will inspect it and somehow determine if they will warrant the tire.  Assuming you've jumped accurately and completely through all the hoops, and they agree to honor the warranty, they will send you a gift card for the PRORATED amount they determine you should receive.  If you've ever been down this road with other prorated warranties in the past, I assume you learned they sound a lot better than what they turn out to be.  This one locks you in to buying another Avon tire and paying to have it installed FIRST, before any determination of warranty coverage.

I just put these on recently and now have 8k on them. I used to blow through Dunlops every 5 or 6k. So far no issues - no whining and definitely no cupping. I can get a pic up later.

This is the rear now w/7600 on it. We just put about 4200 on them visiting some family down in Jacksonville & hit the BBB on the way home.
