Dry grip is pretty good, ditto grip on damp roads (no standing water), but where these really seem to score is on very wet roads where they cut through puddles like anything - i.e. they seem to have very high resistance to aquaplaning. My previous treads (Yokohama A539) were slightly better in dry and damp conditions but practically broke your wrist if you caught the edge of a puddle at motorway speeds. The Avons hardly seem to notice.

Quite a comfortable tyre let down by its wet grip. Wouldn't buy again, will spend a little more and buy something like a toyo t1r or uniroyal rainsport.
They lasted 8000 miles a set.

Excellent grip in wet & dry conditions. A little experience in snow but in the AWD Jaguar X-Type I've had no problems. A quiet tyre and comfortable. Wear is good so far after around 15000 miles. Price is very competitive. These Avons are far better than the Pirelli's P6000's I had previously. Strongly recommend.

Wet grip was also nothing to write home about, they are also noisy and have an average wear rate.
You can but far better tyres for much less cash.
