I've had Avons before, love them when they are new, especially for the occasional track day. Now that I'm pretty much done with track time, I'm switching to the coopers, have had them before as well. Takes about 200 hot miles to get them where they need to be. Handle much better than the BFG's, which I'll never go back to if I can help it.. Even put a set on my 70 Shelby vs the polyglas OEM's.
