I doubt that the Avon ranks at the top compared to many, if any at all, of these.

EDIT - Look, if anyone wants to buy the $400 each Avon's, by all means have a party, go for it. It's a $400 tire that is simply matched or exceeded in performance by a raft of others for far less money spent. The only reason anyone here buys it is because there is nothing presently to match it for our cars. Find me one modern sports car that has them mounted. I have never seen one. It's not a terrible tire. However it's not state of the art, and it is not priced accordingly with it's so-so performance. It's priced exhorbitantly high. I am not saying at all that it is not the best tire available to us. It clearly is. However, the price is crazy for what you get. If a Michelin PS2, a Nitto, a Pirelli, a Conti, etc were available at $225 - $300 each, would anyone buy the Avon at $400 each? Hell no, and it has absolutely nothing at all to do with not being able to afford the tires or being able to afford a Cobra. It's just about not wanting to pay super premium prices for a less than super premium product. My original idea was to see if there was a way to perhaps convince another manufacturer to correct this situation. Clearly there isn't much appetite amongst the group to attempt that. That's fine, carry on. No harm no foul. It was just an idea. Disregard.
