Thanks again for the insights
The Avons are DOT approved tires.

When I bought the car is had Goodyear GTII's on it. Totally garbage tire in my opinion for a car like this if you are going to drive it anywhere near the limits.

Went with the Goodyear Billboards next and love them. Only upgraded to the Avons due to taking the car on vacation last year and did not want to take a chance with the lightweight race tires on vacation.

Never have understood why some people will skimp on tires. They are the only thing keeping you connected to the pavement.
