Best For
Long-Haul Tourer
You're putting real miles on a fully-loaded bagger — two-up, bags packed, rain a near-certainty at some point. You need a tire that stays predictable when the pavement gets wet, wears evenly over thousands of miles, and tells you what the road is doing without shouting. The AV91 was built for exactly this kind of riding.
Perfect Match
Power Cruiser Enthusiast
Your M8 or performance V-twin sees canyon runs on the weekend and daily miles during the week. You've outgrown traditional touring rubber — you want feedback, grip, and a tire that can keep up with a spirited pace — but you're not willing to sacrifice the mileage your daily riding demands. The AV91 splits that difference better than most.
Great Match
Track Day Rider
If your goal is maximum lean angles and an aggressive pace on a road course, the AV91 isn't your tire. It wasn't designed for track heat cycles or the loading demands of sustained hard cornering. You'll want a dedicated sport tire built for those conditions.
Consider Dunlop Sportmax Q5 or Michelin Power RS

Frequently Asked
Yes — and it's one of the AV91's clearest upgrades. Avon reformulated the compound specifically to reduce stopping distances in rain, and the tread geometry does real work evacuating water. If you ride in Southern California year-round and get caught in winter storms on the freeway, that 8.6 wet grip score reflects something you'll actually feel.
For most cruiser and touring riders, expect somewhere in the 10,000–15,000 mile range. Heavier bikes, two-up loads, and aggressive throttle application will move you toward the lower end. Proper inflation and regular rotation checks help you get the most out of the optimized wear profile Avon built into this generation.
If you're running a heavy bagger, regularly ride two-up with luggage, or operate a trike, the reinforced sidewall is doing meaningful work — it keeps the tire's shape and handling response stable under the load and torque those applications generate. On a lighter cruiser with solo riding, it's less critical, but it doesn't hurt you either.
Technically possible, but we don't recommend it. Front and rear tires in a matched set are calibrated to work together — the handling balance, feedback, and wet-weather behavior are engineered as a system. Mixing brands can introduce unpredictable transitions, especially at the limit. Run the AV91 as a set for the intended performance.
Nothing under the tread — same compound, same construction, same performance. The whitewall exists purely for riders building heritage-look customs or matching a classic bagger aesthetic. Pick whichever fits your bike's visual direction and ride with confidence either way.
The AV91 borrows sport tire technology but it's fundamentally a cruiser-touring tire — designed around cruiser geometry, V-twin weight distribution, and long-haul priorities. You'll get more feedback and quicker turn-in than old-school cruiser rubber, but a dedicated sport-touring tire will still edge it out in lean angle capability and outright corner grip. If you're splitting time equally between spirited sport-touring and cruiser miles, that conversation is worth having with us in-store.
