If the Avons are what people are saying, including ride quality, they should be pretty nice...

Yes the first time I drove a car with the Avons I was surprised at how much smother the ride was over the Yokos. Bias tires are not even close. The only complaint I have heard on the Avons other than cost, is that they don't point quite as well as Hoosiers on the track. On the street I have not driven a tire that is even close to the Avons. The Hoosiers might have a touch more grip, but they track so bad on the street that it is not even close as to which tire I prefer. For the track other than a full slick the jury is still out...
