245/60 and 295/50. Excellent tires for KMPs. My car was in my garage untouched since November. I took it out this weekend, no flat spots whatsoever. I can't remember where the tire pressures were in November, but they were 28/28/28/26 after sitting all winter.

I ran the Yokos before these. The Avons provide much better handling and feel. Different league althogether. After the Avons, the Yokos seem unsafe. Wear isn't too bad. I have 6,000 hard street miles, but no track time, on them. They still have pretty good tread left, but probably time for a new set.

Hey Jamo, If you could post a comparison of the Avons / BB's after you've run them a while? I'd like to hear what you like / dislike between the two.

Your expected cooperation is appreciated. (I always wanted to use that line.)

It is a good line, ain't it?

Assolutely...will do.

Default Avons

I have tried Goodyear billboards on my Hurricane. They constantly leaked air,flatspotted and wandered all over the place! I now run the Avons (245/60vr15 and 295/50vr15).The Avons are infinitely better!
