Get rid of the GY Eagle GTIIs and purchase a set of Avons--you won't regret it. |

Avons will definitely be the next tire on my car. Only problem is that the Yokos on my car look brand new after 5k and actually do a pretty good job and give a great ride.

What size Avons are you guys running? I was thinking 225/65 & 245/60's for my FIA. Are they really the dimesions listed?

I can fix that. 
"Honey, you would NEVER believe what happened?!? Dang throttle stuck and I was all over the place! It's an act of God that I'm here talking to you about it. Turns out the car only needed a simple $2 part at the carb to fix it, but in the aftermath I totally shredded the rear tires. And get this... They don't even make them anymore!" Can you believe that? But I did find a manufacturer in Europe that actually makes a better DOT approved radial for these cars and you can purchase them through selected U.S. distributors.

Do I have to fix all your problems?!?  |

I have the Nitto NT01 and they really grip. For me the tires are duel purpose, twisty and straight line. In both cases they are awesome.
