I had the Avon's in an 04 GTO I used to own. I had them for a few thousand miles and I had nothing, but issues with them. These tires are really difficult to balance. I had to return 2 of the 4 original tires, because the force balance numbers were really high. Michelins and Yokos get the best best force balance numbers (from personal experience). My tire shop told me that Avons used to be awesome until Cooper tire bought the company and started making the tires in the US.

My 2 cents,
Gianni
