I have the Avons on my 03 Aero,
+ Quieter than the worn Sumitomo HTR+'s I replaced.
+ Very sticky and grip well
+ Quiet on the highway
+ Cheap, very cheap. Throw them out 25% earlier than you would have with the Pirellis and be even.
- They squeal under hard acceleration from standstill. Not sure if they
all do; this is my first Saab.
- They are soft and turn-in is on the soft side for a 45 tire.
- The tread pattern appears shallow.
No input on the bridgestones but I'll try the Pzero Neros next time.
Still for $104 a tire, very well worth it. I'd stay away from Bridgestone.
