Avon tyres

[RP-Motorsports]

Hey track junkies. Anyone try these? I used the Kumho V700's in the past, but was not real happy with they handled my aggressive style of driving. (I would actually take one block section, and fold it over and melt it into the next section )

I am considering these, or may just end up with RA-1's but I am a guy who likes to be different.

I have heard that the company is like Kumho of years past...they have been out for awhile and that their tires are usually cheaper than most... generally a decent tire...I have never tried them on the NSX however...

A couple people here with first-hand experience... I was looking at them as well, decided Toyo was fine for me!

They may look the same, but compounds are the difference, not just the tread design.

Did you run them shaved or full tread? My problem with the V700 is not chunking, rather blistering.

I really like RA-1. Not as fast in the beginning of its life. But consistent throughout. Last a long time and very durable.

Never tried the Avon, but by the look, it resemble real slicks, so my guess is it won't last very long.
