Well, its a good 'BANG for my Buck'

 

Ive been fairly happy with my new tires on my 19s. I still miss the tires that were on my old 19s though.

 

I'm happy with my Avons as well, they handled the 1st snow fall we had pretty well....

 

Where did you guys get your Avons? I was considering those tires, have heard good things about them.

 

tire rack.. got for 140 each..

 

Are you running the M550? I had those on my stock rims. Decent in the dry/rain. Pretty good for the price...

 

Avon Tech M500 (summer performance) here. Down in Georgia, we don't see much slush or snow at all even in the dead of winter. We might get one day of snow per year if we're lucky. I opted to go for the M500s because I don't need the light mud/slush/snow rating of the all season M550s.
