18,550 on the Pair Moved to the Front Posted by Ian Glenday [Email] (#95) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ian Glenday) on Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:52:24 In Reply to: how many miles on the avons, sonett43, Tue, 1 Mar 2005 13:42:49 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The only wear is from overinflation with the center being slightly more worn based on tread wear indicators. They were 38-40lbs so have reduced to 32lbs. They wear similar to OEM MX4V's but are not as noisy. Looks like 20,000 left on the fronts if the new pressure balances the wear more. The newer pair on the back have 1500 miles. Ride, control and handling is every bit as good as new MX4V's and are great in the wet. We had close to 4" of rain a few days ago and I hit a good puddle on the A1A at 55 and the car held straight. The car behind me almost wiped out. The MX4V's were not that good in the wet particularly after they had some wear. The Tire Rack price is also very good. I have 225-50-16's on the car (plus 0) and that does affect the ability to part the waters so to speak.
