I had these fitted to my Skoda VRS and they were a revalation !
The previous tyres were Bridgestone Potenzas (poor wet performance) but the Avons are fantastic.
There's nothing like having some confidence in your tyres when it's tipping down, these are the ones for me in future. They are great in the dry as well. I've had Goodyear F1, Toyos etc, ignore the hype, fit these.

Sorry for my horrible English. Unbeliveable tyres. A bit noisy. Very soft and because of that excelent road feedback, very fun to drive with them, replaced Continental Premium Contact 2 with them I spined and crash my fiesta, my tucking fault, maybe Conties, I think btw. Super grip in dry, very fast on operating temperature. Superior grip when they are hot, if you push them they squitch prety soon on hot day but just asking for more and more. Excelent control of car with handbrake in circual crossroads in town. There is 5 circual crossroads in my town and belive me, ok this one is biger but i was driving 90 - 95 Kmh with ease through out. When wet, did not try the limits in cornering but on straight with ease 190 Kmh (heavy raining in suburbs) playing with aquaplaning even at 100 Kmh (no raining in town). After 15000 miles on legal limit of tread. Now I have 23000 and still driving them. Look like semi slick now (can send pictures if someone want :-)sandro_papic@yahoo.com or see video on facebook) (deported from neighbour country Slovenia because of slicks). No such road feedback, no squtching in corners now (you dont know where is the limit especialy if u are not familiar to car) as in start. Driving like my granny in wet, no over 70 Kmh. My personal conclusion: tyres made for cars with high power engines to bring power on road when needed, but it was fun to have them on pretty normal fiesta and have so much of reserve in every aspect of driving. Would buy them again but price is much higher as back then in 2007. (stupid sellers!!) I am replacing them this month (only first 2) with bridgestone turanza ER300 for the same money i gave for toyo in 2007. Will post reviev about and hope that will enyoy and they will cope with me much as toyo did...

Excellent tyre when the roads are dry and warm as in a race track! Cold, damp, winter roads are scary to say the least. Mine left the road in such conditions killing the car and nearly me!!!!

These tyres came as standard on my ST; they are an excellent tyre in the dry giving lots of grip and a good warning when they are about to slide. However in the wet they are lethal! When setting off from a standing start with the lightest touch of the throttle the amount of wheel spin and axle tramp that you get is huge. When going through the corners in the wet they slip and slide all over the road and dont give much warning when the car is going to slide and dont even bother trying to use them in the snow!! I most certainly will not be buying these tyres again, having read other reviews on here the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 seem to get a good review so i think i will try those next.

The tyre performance in the dry is more than acceptable. Good levels of grip, keen turn in and very progressive feel.
However, to re-iterate what the majority of people are saying, the wet performance is shocking. Grip disappears and traction is easily broken. You don't even to dump the clutch or floor it. In the wet, accelerating briskly in second gear will break traction.
A second - as serious - problem, is the tramlining which gets worse as the tyres wear. Currently between 3-4mm and on anything other than completely smooth and flat roads (in this country!!), the car is all over the place. Depending on the severity of the road imperfection, the car can be pulled off line quite violently. Also seemed to make the ride very crashy. Noisy and unforgiving.
Wear seems average.
May recommend this tyre for dry track use but not everyday road use. Will try Uniroyal Rainsport 2's next.

I can only compare these tyres with Toyo Proxes TR1's as these are the only other tyre i've had on my ST and the Toyo's are far superior. The Pirelli P Nero Zeros came as standard on the ST and from day one I was disappointed. Tyre grip is poor when setting off at traffic lights and at roundabouts. The wheels would slip and slide all over the place looking for grip with the slightest blip of the throttle. It was always a gamble when nipping out in front of another vehicle praying that the car doesn't go into 'slip and slide' mode! This was getting too hairy so had to wait until there was a reasonable gap in traffic before pulling out.
One of my front tyres seemed to wear badly in the middle of the tyre and my psi has been constantly at 30psi since the day I got it, strange. Maybe it was a dodgy tyre??
The tyres lasted me just under 9k miles so not too bad. Thought they would last a bit longer though.
This tyre does get a thumbs up for cornering ability in dry and wet but it's when setting off they are poor.
Very expensive too!
Tyre ride seemed to be very bumpy indeed, always looking to avoid those potholes at all costs!
Toyo Proxes TR1 are a softer compound tyre providing better grip in dry and wet. Aquaplaning is kept to a minimum. Ride comfort is also better and tyre noise is quiet also. Will they last the 9k which the Pirellis did? Who knows? But hey, if they keep you safe then I don't really care if they wear out a bit quicker. The Toyos are cheaper too!

My car is modified now to 165bhp.
These tiers were supplied with the car.On wet there is too much wheel spin and you feel also very insecure.The dry grip is ok but if you want to push the car more you would definitely lose grip.Braking in dry is ok, but on wet is not so good.
They are also very noisy.
The wear rate is very good.
There are better tiers for the money you pay for this tyre model.
I probably buy next some Uniroyal Rainsport 2 or some Hankook V12 Evo.

I replaced the Pzeros with Uniroyal rainsport 2's all round. Wet grip is fansastic. They do slide of corse as does every tyre given enough of a push, but very good grip in wet. Dry is very good too, but not quite as good as the best. Very pridactable though wet or dry. Would recomend for UK driving, but if I lived in a dryer place I'd stick with Pzeros.
