I installed this new tire last November. As I stated from the beginning I love the ride and handling. IMO, it is far better than the MPA or BT-45 most are currently using.
I just turned 10,000 miles on this tire and it has reached the wear bars. On the bias ply tires the trikes here only average 11 to 13,000 miles on average if majority of miles are in the Arkansas twisties and on our chip-n-seal roads. So the Avon came up a little short in the mileage category.
However, I ordered another Cobra Trike tire and will give it another try because I like the driving characteristics so much. Hopefully, Avon will find a way to improve the tread life. If the next one still achieves 10K miles then I might have to reconsider the BT-45 which is my favorite of the bias ply tires.
Flat country riders will probably do much better; similar to the bias ply tires. I will be anxious to see how they do.
