When I was sourcing new tyres as replacements for the F1s, at least 4 tyre specialists did not recommend the Avons as replacements, so will be interested to see how you get on with them.

After three months of ownership and experience with the P1's, i've decided that i'll be sticking with them, after 5 years with F1's.

Best price I can get for Avons is £552 for four, and thats not including fitting.

Next best deal I found is Dunlop sportmax at £159 each with VAT and fitting.

Can't find Firestones anywhere, anyone got or seen a better deal ?

Cheers
P.S I tried Camskills/Stapletons and Town tyres so far in my search.

Anyone else got experience of NANKANG or FALKEN tyres ? Spoke to a chap from this forum today and he spoke very highly of FALKEN tyres, they are alot cheaper than the premium brands.
