I like big tires. I like smaller 15" tires. I never met a tire I didn't like.

You hit the nail on the head. The 15" Avons have a tread wear of 80. That compound allows them to compete rather nicely with the larger diameter wheeled cars. That's all I am saying. And they let drivers compete with the racing only tires that are not DOT approved for street use. They are expensive, my personal experience is they wear out in 15,000 miles . Every tire has limitations and compromises.

On vintage cars I like the vimtage look. Some people could care less about that. For them there many choices. For the guys with my tastes, there are fewer, but nevertheless excellent choices. From my narrow point of view, the Avons let me have my cake and eat it too. I can live with a shorter tire life if it lets me blast by the 17" naysayers in the corners. It's a trade off I love.
