New front tire suggestions?..

With the fact that Avon will no longer be producing the Cobra Chrome AV91 Trike tire, the most popular choice is the Bridgestone Battlax BT46. It's a rear tire that is same size as a Goldwings front tire. People either love it or hate it but it's probably the only real choice for now. And I too was a Michelin Pilot Activ believer and wish they were still around.
 
Been using the Avon Trike tire on our last 2 trikes.
We like he way it handles and rides, with the Avon Trike tire.
I never heard Avon was stopping them being made.
I heard Goodyear bought them out and thought they would continue to make them.
Will have to see.

For the goldwing size....

I see the cobra chrome trike tire in stock at Dennis Kirk right now. They show 4 left in stock.



They also show as in-stock at wing stuff
They also show 5 available at summit racing
They also show 2 in stock at Rocky Mountain atv

They may be available but at the price they want, they can keep them. I'm sure someone will be willing to pay that but once they are gone, they are gone. For the mileage I got out of my last one, I can't see spending almost double than what a BT46 would cost. On my last Battlax, I got more miles on that than the AV91 Trike tire before I had to replace. JMHO.
 
It's kind of a shame because if the AV91 Trike tires were still being made and offered at a reasonable price, I would still buy another. I got lucky in my last one about 5 years ago and found it on a special at the online Walmart page for $89. That was a steal. I should have ordered more than 1.
 
If you had ordered more than 1, you would be putting a new 6 year old tire on your bike now….

True. Actually I still wouldn't have it because it would have been installed on my 07 last summer when the front tire needed to be replaced which I now no longer have. Instead, the AV91 got replaced with a BT46 which I also no longer have... 😭
