ive had both avons and mt st's. i prefer mt to the avons. better cold performance, much better wet performance (avons are dangerous in any type of wetness), and equal street performance. avons are better at the track.

I've read that before that, unless you are engaged in serious racing, Avons are not the preferred tire. But, as with many things in life, it's not generally regarded as "politically correct" to say so.  |

I have not had Avons, but can vouch for MT STs/Cooper Cobras on the street. Ride, handling, traction are all solid. |

I also had MTs, Billboards and now AVONs. Had the MTs on the GT40 prior to the AVONs and what a difference the AVONs make it driveability, handling and traction. Yes they are a bit more expensive but the investment you put in these cars I'd say it is worth it. For years we all complained nobody made a performance 15 inch tire that was worth a dam now we have one.

Like mentioned, I wouldn't mind buying Avon's and getting the newer Billboard tire stickers.
The tread design is close enough to a match for me. With the high cost of the rears, I won't be able to have as much fun with them. As fellow Cobra owner's, you know what I mean.
Does anyone know of business dealers that ever have them on sale or have the lowest price?
Any company's like Tire Rack etc ?

SASCO and Roger Krauss, the largest (only?) distributors of Cobra sized Avon tires, never have sales. |
