Over priced!
I don't know where you guys are shopping for tyres, but $400 for the Avons would be a pretty good price. Roger has them for, "295/50VR15 $508.00" plus the freight.  That is the going rate, though.
I agree with the Pilot - that is a ridiculous price for what you get. These are made in the UK and imported. But, as has been said, it is likely the small market and exclusive distributorships that dictate the exorbitant prices... that and it is designed as a road-race tyre.
I am unable to say whether they are good or bad, performance-wise. Most of the guys that run them swear by them!
