Tires besides elite 4 and Bridgestone

[Mooney14]

How many miles are you getting out of them I was think about putting a stone back on I was just curious about the 2 tires I mentioned Avon and Metzeler I will not go back to the e4 no matter what other riders say about it easy enough reviews of other people talking about wet traction

I had two sets of the Mettzlers. They handled great until they had about 9k then started to get loud. Had to change at 11.5k. Went to the Dunlop E-4 and was not impressed. Now my first set of the new Avons have about 500 miles. Stick nice, roll nice so far. And I bought a Jaco gauge for my compressor...try to better stay at the 40 front, 42 rear to get some longer life.

thanks for the info guys I think I’ll just go back to Bridgestone May try the avon next time but glad to see I wasn’t the only one disappointed with the e4

Having bad cupping on this Avon on the front now. Good luck with Cobras in the past but better with the Bridgestones. That is all I will be using from now on.

Since the Traxxion upgrade, I've had NO cupping on my tires.

My OEM Stone lasted just shy of 12k miles. I was more neurotic with air pressure on the second one, and got another ~10% life out of it. Tire was down to the wear bars at 13,500.

My original rear got loud in curves in the last third of its life (howling). The second one did not seem to do that.
