My Electra glides fitted with Avon Venoms at the minute. They don't seem to be too popular a choice and are not available at the minute through my regular on line suppliers. Any recommendations?
Tyre recommendations for an electra glide
- Thread starter Rob Farmer
- Start date
i think and only think that Venoms have been replaced with Cobras, Cobras were originally intended for V-Rod/Rocket 3 etc, but hear they have widened the range to include heavy side wall Glides...
or, could be talking shit....
looks like the MT90B16 has been dropped from the Venom data sheet and added to the Cobra one !!

I recommend Michelin Commander 2 for the glides. Good sidewall structure for the weight of the bike plus fat rider.

I have Cobra's on my Glide: good enough for the abilities of the bike / rider
My local indie fits them as standard to all touring bikes, so most of my mates are running them as well.

Welcome to the fold.... Daves ex road king is a very nice bike!!!
i wouldnt mind an electra glide ,i liked my old bat wing fairing
The reviews are suggesting these tyres last in excess of 10k and behave well. Looks promising.
You keeping the Glide now then??
Nobody wanted it so not much choice.
Michelin Comander 2

Back to the UK this week for a holiday and want to buy a set of tyres for the 2010 electra glide. Where best to buy?
Got Michelin Commander 2 on at the moment but forgotten where I bought them.

It's a bit difficult without knowing which bit of the UK you're in, but if in London contact Essential Rubber
I am in Cheshire and flying back to Manchester tonight.
I had OE Dunlops - awful, especially in the wet (did a tour of Scotland in the "summer"!) - replaced on UK bike with Conti Milestones - much better wet and dry.
The Glide here was on OE Dunlop again but it never rains here and there are no corners, just like America, so not an issue.
