I recently purchased an avon cobra motorcycle tire (300/35r18). In less than 2000 miles of normal riding conditions, the center of the tire is beginning to "erode" off the tire. I don't spin or burnout, yet the center of the tire now has a 2" to 3" wide section that appears to be vanishing and has actually left a groove in my tire. I don't feel safe riding this tire and have "grounded" my bike until I can get another tire. The avon venom tire I had before this got close to 10000 miles before a change was required....

The rubber on the avon cobra feels soft and must be of different material/contruction than the previous avon venom tires. I feel this is a factory defect or flaw in the materials used to manufacture this tire. My options for this size tire are limited and my past experience has been positive with avon. I would like to see their quality back to where it once was with the venom tires. *Kb
