Avon or Pirelli?
Avon or Pirelli? Lookin for some good gripping tires but not too expensive. Am looking at tirerack.com right now and i see Avon 550 A/S for $127 and all the ratings are VERY good on them, they even beat the other ones i'm looking at which are the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S for $148. What do you all think? Anyone have either of these? The sizes are 275/40WR17. I haven't heard of Avon before but i was hoping some of you all have! Thanks.

Do you really want something on your car with the name Avon, lol. I have heard many good reviews on these and plan on ordering some for the front. Fuzion ZRi

avons are really good tires dipshit they are zz rated140++ speeds!!!alot of die hard bikers will use avons on their bikes, i had a set of 18s avons really good tires lasted along time too i would recomend the avons
Thanks guys, and also, i have the Fuzion ZRi's on right now but those two tires that i selected for this have better ratings and both longer tread life. The Fuizon's are ok but i was looking for a better performer and something that gripped more and these two seemed like good choices.

I have Avons on the front. Avon Tyres has been in the European racing industry for quite a few years. They are just getting into the US market, but the tires are awesome. The price is right and they stick well. 
I had them in Germany on the autobahn and they've sustained speeds in excess of 165 MPH without a hitch.
