[N0V4_K1N9]

anyone know how good avons are?
i was gonna get bfg's but am short on cash an theres a deal down the road buy 1 get 1 free on avons so....
also my sr wheels can i get away with 185.50?

avon are a good tyre imo. ats do a in house tyre which is made by avon and its cheaper. Or KWIK FIT (cough) do a ceat tyre in that size. The ceats are made by pirelli and are highly recommended :)

[N0V4_K1N9]

yer but there remoulds so they wear out well quik?

[Stuart]

dont bother with remoulds... look on mytyres for a decent range for cheap

[ben lee]

ceats are not remoulds and good for the money.
avons are good but only there sport range.

[Stuart]

whats the tyre budget and how many are needed?

185 50 14s are only just comfortable on 5.5J cavalier steelies, they are not recommended for the 5J wide SR wheels. Go for 185 55 or 185 60 tyres, they are cheaper and there is a better selection in these sizes. I was impressed with the Avons on my friedns Focus, but that is a heavier car than the Nova. I've been using Kuhmo KU31s on the 1.2 Nova in 185 55 14 and they are a very good wet and dry tyre for the price (?33 a corner).

ZV3 Avons are pretty good & the old ZV1 was a nice tyre too. I think they peel a bit if really abused but then again most tyres do. Better than Yokohamas IMO, which do not suit a Novas handling characteristics.

I love Michelin Exalto's. (if you can afford em)

good deal on at the moment in a local place where my mate works. pirelli p5000 drago directionals. only 40 a corner. i put 4 on my car and it handles excellently

Toyo being the best if money aint a object
Goodyear nct's with 7mm tread are ace :thumb: and just as good as toyo imo

[N0V4_K1N9]

well normally i use bfg's they have always been ideal but money is an issue so ill prolly go for the avon deal buy 1 get 1 free :) been readin on the avons apparently good tyres so...
