Avon Tire

Post by weh8127 »

Can anyone tell me a Stateside dealer who can deliver an Avon Roadrider MkII 3.25-19 #2150012? I ordered a set last October but only the rear 4.00-18 was delivered and I can find no US distributor who has stock. The Canadians have plenty but I was quoted $100 ($CAD) to ship.

Bill,

I was going to recommend Revzilla but I checked the website and it says that are both “unavailable”. That is where I had bought my set.
I have read on another forum that Avon was sold again. I believe it is now Goodyear and the UK factory is being shut down. I hope they are just moving production because they are very good tires for an airhead.

I bought 2 of them from Two Tyres in the UK last November for $280.88 US.

Thanks. Two Tyres is priced better than Royal Distributors in Ontario. I have a message in to them regarding freight now.

So I finally got my front tire from Pete's in Quebec. https://www.petes-superbike.com/. It cost me US$30 above the advertised delivered price from American distributors, but they didn't have any. I still can't figure out why there are plenty in the UK and Canada but the US distributors are out of stock.

I too have struggled finding Avon tires for my bikes the last several times I needed them. I did read where Cooper, who owns Avon, is closing the last factory open in the UK in Melksham by the end of 2023. They did not announce where the future motorcycles would be made, maybe they are just keeping them close to home in the UK and Canada until they lock the doors?
