Tom,

I understand the look and steer part about the GoodYears and Avons. Can you comment more in a lot more detail about how the Avons "ride better than the Yokos" part? How so?


Based on all comments no CC so far, it's pretty clear the Avons are a better handling and steering tire than most anything available now. I've been wondering if they could compare to the Yoko Avids on smoothness; and not that its an option any longer, but this is one characteristic about the Yokos that keep them on my car today; or at least until they are worn out. If the Avons are what people are saying, including ride quality, they should be pretty nice. BTW: On Cobras, I've tried older GoodYear Eagle VRs, Yok352s, BFG radials, GoodYearBillboards, and Yok Avids. So far, I like(d) the Yok-Avids the best. Avons are next.

Thanks,
