I think Avons are now close to $600 per tire.

Gotta make my two sets last I guess.

Sidewall states "295/50R15 108V CVR5" so I'd call it a radial.

To the right of that and closer to the inside circumference it states "DOT 1UBMV" or "DOT 1U8MV", followed by date codes "9496 4723." So I'd call that DOT approved.

These may be projected to be less costly versions of the current AVONs (aka NOVA today), but IMHO still on the pricier side for any 15" performance tire.
