Avon Motorcycle Tyres | Firestorm Motorcycles

Avon is a motorcycle tyre brand with strong focus across road bikes, cruisers, custom motorcycles, sports bikes and tube-type wheel setups. Firestorm offers a wide range of Avon motorcycle tyres and tubes, with a strong focus on road tyres, cruiser tyres, white wall options, sport tyre sizes and replacement tubes for riders keeping their bike ready for regular use.

For riders shopping across motorcycle tyres, Avon is especially useful when tyre size, load rating, riding style and bike type need to be matched carefully. The range includes Avon Cobra Chrome cruiser tyres, 3D Supersport road tyres and a selection of motorcycle tubes for different rim sizes and tyre applications.

Tyres are one of the most important parts of the bike to get right. A good tyre choice should suit the motorcycle, the rider, the road surface and the way the bike is actually used. Whether the priority is cruiser stability, road-bike grip, long-distance comfort, correct tube fitment or replacing worn rubber before the next ride, Avon gives riders practical options across a broad range of common motorcycle sizes.

Avon Cobra Chrome Cruiser Tyres

Avon Cobra Chrome tyres are a popular part of the Avon range at Firestorm. They are commonly bought for cruiser, custom and touring-style motorcycles where tyre profile, load rating, stability and overall bike presentation all matter. The range includes a broad mix of front and rear sizes, including large rear tyre fitments and selected white wall options.

When buying road motorcycle tyres for a cruiser, it is worth checking more than the size printed on the old tyre. Load rating, speed rating, front or rear fitment, wheel size and whether the bike uses a tube or tubeless setup all need to match the motorcycle. Some cruiser tyres also have directional fitment, so installation should never be treated as guesswork.

White wall tyres are often chosen for the look as much as the ride. If the bike is being restored, customised or kept close to a particular style, the tyre becomes part of the overall presentation. It is still important to choose the correct size and rating first, then choose the finish that suits the bike.

Avon Road and Supersport Tyres

Avon 3D Supersport tyres suit riders looking for road-focused sport tyre fitments across common 17-inch front and rear sizes. These tyres are generally bought by riders who want a more responsive road tyre for weekend rides, sports bikes, naked bikes or bikes that are ridden with a more spirited road feel.

When buying sport-oriented road tyres, the right fitment makes a big difference. A 120/70ZR17 front matched with the correct rear size is common on many modern road bikes, but riders should still check the bike’s recommended tyre sizes rather than assuming a previous owner fitted the correct pair. A mismatched tyre profile can change steering feel, stability and confidence mid-corner.

For riders doing more aggressive road riding or track-style use, it may also be worth browsing road racing motorcycle tyres. Not every rider needs that level of tyre, but it is useful to understand the difference between a road tyre chosen for regular use and a more focused tyre chosen for harder riding conditions.

Avon Motorcycle Tubes

Firestorm also offers Avon motorcycle tubes in a range of sizes for riders using tube-type wheels. These are often needed on older road bikes, classic motorcycles, cruisers, scooters and bikes with spoked rims that require a tube. Tubes are a small part of the tyre setup, but the wrong tube can create fitment problems, valve issues or premature failure.

When buying motorcycle tubes and rim locks, check the tyre size, rim size, valve type and whether a standard, heavy-duty or specific tube thickness is more suitable. A tube should not be stretched far outside its intended size range, and it should be fitted carefully to avoid pinching during installation.

It is often worth replacing the tube when fitting a new tyre, especially if the existing tube is old, patched, cracked around the valve stem or has been removed several times. Reusing a tired tube inside a fresh tyre can turn a simple tyre change into another job sooner than expected.

Tyre Fitment, Pressure and Maintenance Tips

Before ordering Avon tyres, check the size printed on the current tyre and compare it with the motorcycle’s recommended fitment. Front and rear tyres may use different construction types, load ratings or speed ratings, especially on cruisers and larger road bikes. If the bike has aftermarket wheels or a previous owner has changed tyre sizes, it is worth confirming the setup properly before buying.

Tyre pressure should be checked regularly, not only when the tyre looks low. Under-inflated tyres can run hotter, wear faster and make the bike feel heavy or vague. Over-inflated tyres can reduce contact feel and comfort. A reliable tyre pressure gauge or pump is one of the simplest tools to keep in the garage, especially for riders who commute, tour or ride regularly on weekends.

During a tyre change, it is also worth checking the valve stem, rim condition, wheel bearings, brake pads and spoke tension where applicable. On tube-type wheels, inspect the rim tape and make sure the tube is not twisted or pinched before inflation. A little extra care during fitting can save a roadside problem later.

Supporting Parts for a Better Tyre Change

Tyres should not be treated as a standalone purchase. If the old tyre is badly worn, squared off, cupped or wearing unevenly, check pressures, suspension condition, wheel alignment and general bike setup before fitting the new one. On heavier cruisers and touring bikes, load and tyre pressure can make a noticeable difference to tyre life.

For riders maintaining their own bikes, the most useful tyre support items are often simple: spare tubes where required, a good pressure gauge, valve tools and the correct lifting or workshop setup. Avon tyres and tubes can be a strong choice when the fitment is checked properly and the rest of the wheel area is inspected at the same time.
