I am close to needing a front tyre for the Glide, has anyone got any experience with Avon Cobra?

No, but cool name!

You use different fronts and rears?

I will go for the same rear when I am ready, I have Commander II’s on at the moment.

Michelin is usually good rubber for European roads, more so when rain is involved. What don't you like about them?

They lack a bit of feel in the wet.

I like the mitas terra force fitted on the ktm.. Good overall traction..they're not wearing out at and extremely fast pace... I won't be doing  any hardcore off road with this bike... So I'll probably be replacing them again with the same.... 

Sounds like Chinese shite.

Are those the O/E fitment for your bike Marcel ?  Mitas make great enduro/trail tyres  👍

First impressions of the Cobra Chrome are good, it is less susceptible to tracking and I have already started scraping the floorboards.

Yebbut, your floorboards are only 3 inches off the ground
