I bought Avon M550's through tire rack.
They were $104 per tire in OEM size 225/45/17 plus $12.50 road hazard protection for three years.
If tire is damaged in the first eighteen months they will replace tire for free and 18-36 months they prorate cost of tire by time left, Much like Leif's Pirelli warranty. $25 per flat incident also covered. For $48 a set it can't be beat considering a big city pothole can cost you a tire and it can happen anyday!
The Avon's ride nice. Sticky but soft, turnin is not as crisp as the all season Pirelli P Zero Nero but they are also cheaper - $40 cheaper per tire. Smooth as babys ass, I had an opportunity to cruise at 110mph this weekend in dry conditions, I can't wait to try them out on heavy down pours.
Q: Do all tires have a uniform tire tread depth? I thought the new Avons had shallow grooves compared to some of my other tires?
