Yup.

Fortunately I didn't have to tolerate them for too long, as I shredded them in 4k miles, then put something far superior on...  ...a set of budget tyres ;D

Yes, had them on my previous CDX, and found them extremely good as I always have when fitting Avon's  :y :y :y :y

Now have though Pirelli PZero Rosso 235/45 ZR 17 fitted on my current miggy, and am finding them superb in all conditions ;) ;)

As a matter of urgency had a pair fitted on the raer of my Elite in November.

Was led to believe they were a good tyre at a fair price.

12k mikes later and I wouldn,t buy them again.Road noise is higher than P6000 and Zero Rosso,s have used in the past and have always felt car is not as comfortable as moves around abit at motorway speeds .

Will give them another couple of months to wear out and then replace them with something better.Fronts are BF Goodrich and have had them over 20k and been most impressed,so may fit Conti,s on all corners.

I have these Avons on my 3.2 at the moment but have decided to change them out soon as I find they tramline badly. Trouble is I can't decide what to change them out to. I have Conti Sports-contacts on my Golf which are great so may well go for these but what's good for one car isn't necessarily good for another. I've always found it a bit of a lottery with tyres - and an expensive one at that - 'til you find the right ones that suit you (and the car).
