Its good to see the interest in the Avons here. Ive been tire poor with both my cars. Goodyears, Hoosiers... Finally got the Avons on my GT40 and they are nothing short of perfect. Took the car out last Sat, 38 degrees outside and sitting for two weeks. They were round, smooth and perfect right out of the garage!

I made adhesive templates for letters and found a paint that works great if anyone is interested in AVON lettering. I can email pics of my tires. PM me.

Nick, good of ya Bud to offer this group deal! They are the best you can buy!

Im same as Paul, although id be after slightly smaller tire sizes.
One of our number here tried about a year ago to get a bulk discount from one of the major avon distributors here in the UK - no joy. But dont let that kill the idea, maybe the numbers were too low.

I guess the potentially larger savings maybe through bulk shipping to the US.

Do they have 17" tires? I am still in low 700 miles so who knows when I will need tires?
Best wishes in your new year. Joyous Christmas and I hope you guys had a Happy Hannuka, too.

If you are running Avons you are 7300 miles away from needing a new set.

Please count me in. Running old Goodyear GT's that are hard as a rock.
A bad tire is a terrible waste of good HP.

Anyone have a rough idea what a set of 4 15" will go for assuming 295/245 combo?

I think they're running about $1600 for a set of 4. That's a big part of the reason we're working the group purchasing power.

C'mon Stephen,
Jump in, we could split the shipping to Melb.
I could even drop em at your door if it would help
No pressure! Really...
Haha

Enjoy the Boxing Day test, just settling in myself to watch the red first rock to be bowled in anger.

I am interested in a pair of Avon rear tyres for my car (rears have somehow not worn as well as the front ones).

Any idea on pricing yet?

Avon is closed for a couple of days over the holiday. Seems like we have pretty good interest. We'll be in touch with some idea of numbers later in the week.
