Default Good comparison worth noting...

Fred / SPF1061,
Good to know. Thanks for the update. So far the Yoko Avid's have been the only radial game in town to me for the std 15" wheels. They actually suprised me way back for the price point when they first came out and when I first tried them in comparison to my former Yoko's and other BFGs. If the new Yoko Avid S/Ts feel "greasy" in comparison to these new Avon radials, that is worth takign note of for sure. That tread sure looks old school on those Avon's. Amazing someone finally did it after all of our moaning and complaining back and forth to each other here on CC.

SPF1061,
How "smooth" do the Avon's feel to you driving down the road at say 70mph or so, letting go of the steering wheel - does it shake at all? Is it as least as smooth or close to what the Yoko Avid's were when the car was new?
