Love my Avons but...

[Moto One]

I put over 800 mile in two day on Avons bringing it home, with no more rock pick up then the street radials on our Audi. In fact there was no measurable wear over that distance, granted we haven't really pushed the car to it's limits yet.. The traction in straight line/cornering so far is just what we wanted. By the way the ride is better then we expected, with no tramlineing, or road rut hunting (witch is a surprise).

Sticky?
Yes.

Throw Rocks?
Yes.

Am very very happy with them..

And they look the part (IMHO)



And yes, those are AVONs

Love the Kumho ECSTA XS 315/35Z/17. I know they are not 15 but check to they make a 15 ECSTA XS tire.

I looked at the mickey thompson website, 295/15 show as 30.3" diameter: thats HUGE, the billboards are 26.5". Billboard fronts are 26.2", ET street 255/15 is 27.3. I'd have fitment issues for sure.

The S/Ts are properly sized to the normal Cobra tires.

The M/T ET Street S/S that's 30.3" diameter is a P295/65R15 tire - that's a size for trucks. The P295/55R15 is 28.0", but perhaps that's still too tall. ET Street S/S – Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels

M/T Sportsman S/T in P295/50R15 are 26.8" diameter - 0.3" larger than billboards. The same tires in P255/60R15
are 27" diameter, and 26.6" in P245/60R15. All of these are T Speed Rated - 118 MPH. Sportsman S/T – Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels

Sportsman S/R (H-Speed Rated up to 130 MPH) are all 26.1" diameter in 8", 10" and 12" widths. The 'flame' tread pattern is a show-stopper for some, though. Sportsman S/R – Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels

Cooper Cobra Radial GT sizing:
P245/60R15 26.54" (T-speed rated)
P255/60R15 27.01" (T-speed rated)
P295/50R15 26.81" (S-speed rated)
