The Avon Cobra Chrome is the next chapter in Avon's V-twin tire lineage, aimed at the power-cruiser, touring, and custom market. Built on the foundation of the long-running Cobra line, the Cobra Chrome delivers improved wet and dry grip, a larger contact patch, and longer tread life, paired with a distinctive snakeskin sidewall effect and embossed cobra head that give the tire its name.

Cobra Chrome is available in a wide range of sizes covering Harley-Davidson Touring, Softail, Dyna, V-Rod, Indian, Triumph Rocket III, Honda Gold Wing and Valkyrie, and custom builds. Sizes are designated AV91 for front fitments and AV92 for rear fitments.
