Did they say why you should avoid the Avons? I have them all round and they seem fine. Better than the P6000's the car came with and not much different to the F1's that they replaced.....

If my memory serves...... poor wet weather performance and short life. Never tried them myself but my uncle had them on a Rover 75 and hated them! (yes..........Rover 75!)

Hi,

If I remember, someone told me to avoid Avon - weak side walls.
They were not able to handle the weight of the Volvos and would distort over time..

Nice tread pattern though..

Post up a pic of your alloys, and I'll post up a pic of my 16" on ym S60. If you like mine and I like yours, and the guys here say they'll fit each other's vehicles, then I'll swap you mine!
