I don't need to make any converts for me to know what I have already experienced.

Sorry guys, I just have to believe my lying eyes, and not the bench racers this time. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Z.

PS. Here's the first Cobra I rode in, September 1965. I was 14. I'm pretty sure it didn't have Avon tires....

So you have no actual proof. Just what you THINK. Like the drivers of the cars have no influence on the outcome. In your mind, the tires are the only thing different and that was it.

Wow...you need to go on a visit to the numerous car manufactures and tell them of your discovery! I am sure Porsche, Ferrari, and just about EVERY OTHER car manufacturer would love to hear your theory on how a measly 15" tire on any one of their high performance street and racing cars will make them handle much better. You can tell them that a few times in your life, you rode in a car with 15" tires that outhandled everything. I am sure they would love to hear how they probably spent billions of dollars on developing cars and suspensions and all they had to do was throw a set of 15" tires made by Avon on their cars to have world handling performers.

When they are done laughing at you, come back and let us know. We all want to hear the stories.
