Vtx1800c tires

I had Avon VenomR tires on my 1998 Valkyrie. They were very durable and maneuverable. Are there any Avon (or better) tires for the vtx1800c?

I like my Dunlop Elite 4 dual compound tire. EVERY brand changes their models of tires every few years, sometimes because of new technology. The Dunny E4 is like that. Previous Dunlop was pure garbage.

My bike came with Dunlop Elite on it and I have run them ever since. As Rangers4u mentioned the current version are 4's and on the word of the Honda tech who installed them, 37f/42r psi. I've rode them in all weather conditions and have never had any issues with traction. I get ~30k km (18k miles) out of a set but that'll vary depending on how you ride and also how often you check pressures.

Yes, there are better than the Avons. Dunlop American Elites, Elite 4 are both dual compound tires made for heavy cruisers and will outlast the Avon by twice
