$1500? Ouch, you're right. I had glanced at the price sheet and had come away with a vague notion of $1200. Plus shipping, mounting, balancing... ow. But they do seem to be as good a tire as ever made in this size combination.
Well, you call it "Shirley" or whatever you would like, but other than the price, the V-rated Avons have had outstanding reviews.

At any rate, most decent tires for today's modern high performance cars are very expensive. I make every attempt to treat my Cobra to the best that's available. If and when I find a set of magnesium Halibrands, I plan to install the Avon's on them.
