Given 26% (breakdown) while driving a Alfa Romeo 156 V6 Sp3 (205-55-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
These tyres are hopeless. For a so called performance tyre they are very dissapointing. I had one scary moment in the dry when my front wheels lost traction, causing me to under steer into oncoming traffic. Luckily I survived.
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.

Given 68% (breakdown) while driving a Skoda Favorit (195-55-14-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
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.

Given 63% (breakdown) while driving a Alfa Romeo 155 (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
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.

Given 89% (breakdown) while driving a Jaguar X Type 2.5SE (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 41,000 average miles
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.
