Thanks guys.....

I am surprised how many people pick up on the Firestone stickers with Avons on the car. Same with my last Cobra when I replaced the Goodyears with the Avons. Oh well... Anyone know of any nice vintage Avon stickers?

As long as I don`t have to clean it afterwards....Nah, like Clarkson once said, "...if it was mine, I`d lick it clean every night!!!

Here my tires after 1200 miles, I just don't clean the lettering and now they start to look really cool.....





Btw: the freshest Avon tires has Roger Krause in the US. Roger Kraus Racing Ent., Inc.- Castro Valley, CA.. They don't store these tires for years and sell it to you. Besides the customer service is outstanding.

Looks good. I also had two stencil sizes made up, but found the same size was needed front and rear.
Mine are starting to fade already and are looking much better for it.

How has the spray paint held up? Would you stay with that or go with Ranger tire paint or something else?

I just bought Avons in December from SascoSports. Cost was $1,738 incl shipping (although I talked them into free shipping since it was Xmas )

Shipping would have been another $140, although Sasco is located at VIR and only about a 5 hr drive from where I live in MD, so shipping would likely cost more for others.
