AVON 15" tyres

[Curt C.]

A short review of the CR6ZZ. For reference, I have experience with BFG Euro Radials, BFG TA's, Hoosier TD's and BFG drag radials on the street and Hoosier TD's and Goodyear stock car slicks on the track.

Right to the point. This is an awesome tire - Extreme Grip with an 80 compound rating. I know some guys like the drag radials. Unlike drag radials, these tires will take high speed turns well. I have been through sweepers with the BFG drag radials and scared myself good as they tend to move around pretty good.

The CR6ZZ's do not throw rocks nearly as bad as the Hoosier TD's did. In fact I do not really even notice rocks. Another benefit, as compared to bias ply R compound tires, is that they do not hunt the road much. With the Hoosiers, a small rut in the road would literally rip the wheel out of my hand. The bias ply tires also tend to flat spot when sitting for a while. It eventually goes away, but you do not have this problem with a radial CR6ZZ.

While I have not really pushed these tires to the limit on the street I can tell you that they do give a decent amount of feedback before completely letting go. I do not want to track them because they are much more expensive than stock car slicks.

How long will they last. I don't know but will report back after a while. They do not come cheap but are similar in price to ultra performance 18+ size tires. Maybe as more are purchased the price will come down. Just my $.02.
