I moved off my Avon ZV1s (rear) for Michelin Energy (former fronts) with Michelin Primacy on the front. I'm sticking with Michelin for mine. I'd always said that Avon made a better tyre, but I've been very impressed my Michelin of late. Maybe the T16 has a slightly different weight impression on the front, but the T8 runs very nicely on Primacy tyres. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
