For what it is worth........I have been down to Hillbank Motorsports in Irvine , Calif.....and they have different tires available for their cars. One of the new options are the Avons! They actually sell their cars with them if that is your preference. Also, long ago, probably early last year, I had the info on the Avons....and had brought it up on this site, and FFR's. Not much knowledge at that time from most , but after extensive research, I found they have been using them in Europe for awhile, and they are 'the tire' there for racing enthusiasts!! I know they are expensive, but when your only insurance and defense are........your shoes.........you just deal with price and rest knowing you have the best you can get. Now, 17's are a different matter. I, however, like most of you, like the 15' look. I am waiting to see if, or when, they might offer these with raised white letters. Once that happens.......they will be mine.

ps. It looks like Amer. Racer might have the tire and the lettering in development. Not sure, but would guess they would.
