    Not sure they do a cobra to fit early America, only the later small wheel, big tyre models.

    But Avon do a tyre to fit and fit a Cobra on the rear.

    Can someone remember which one they recommend? If you contact Avon customer services, they'll tell you. Very good service, quick reply.

    What size is your front?

    Pretty sure 1st post has been edited! Can't recall wording, but mention of a new tyre:expressionless:

    Edit - Was mentioned in his OP in the newbie section, so I answered that question here!

    Personally I'd get a new tyre but any bike shop in your area should be able to repair it.
