The ONLY reason these Avon tires get bought is because of the lack of choice in our size. That's it. Compared heads up with other leading edge modern performance tires, they're basically a joke. $655 each is abusive, it's a bad joke what they price these Avon's at.

I put Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires on last year. Tirerack lists them as "Firestone's Ultra High Performance Summer tire". Like you I'm not pleased with the limited 15" offerings, and definitely not the price tag of the Avons. FWIW, I'm quite pleased with the Firestones, though no track time so far.
