I agree they don't give much warning before breaking loose. I haven't found them to be dangerous or useless in any sort of conditions in 50k miles of driving. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have now logged +/- 50k miles on Avon’s. I think I am on my 6th set but have long since lost track. If you buy a set you will be hooked. You will never be satisfied with anything else.
