Description
Cruisers and touring bikes chew through miles, and the front contact patch is what keeps that mileage predictable.
- Snake-skin textured tire shoulder with an embossed cobra head logo for a distinct, recognizable sidewall.
- Updated compound formulated for improved wet-weather stopping distance versus the standard Cobra line.
- Highly durable rubber compound delivering roughly a 10 percent mileage increase over the previous Cobra tire.
- New internal construction that supports steady, predictable wear across the tread life.
- Sized and rated to Avon’s Cobra Chrome specification for direct fitment on the applications it targets.
Built on the AV91 tread pattern for the front position, this Cobra Chrome tire is part of Avon’s chrome-trim cruiser line and carries the size and rating designation 180/50-23 76V TL 1DK. It is engineered as a direct fit for the wheel and load range that size calls for, with no substitute sizing implied. Up front, a tire like this carries the steering feedback and most of the braking load, so tread profile and carcass stiffness both matter more than they would on a smaller bike. Riders switching over from a worn OE or generic replacement tire typically notice the difference in the first few miles, particularly under braking or through a decreasing-radius on-ramp where sidewall stiffness and compound grip both come into play.
This particular fitment is sized 180/50-23 76V TL 1DK, so double-check it against your rim width and current tire before ordering – Avon’s spec sheet for the Cobra Chrome line is size-specific and this listing covers exactly that size. IPD Racing stocks this Avon Cobra Chrome fitment for riders who want the correct size the first time, without guesswork at the counter.
