Just an update. This past week I got stuck in a heavy downpour, lots of standing water on the highway and roads. The avons where awsome in the rain, cut through the puddles very well, no jerking or pulling when hitting standing water.I picked the speed up a couple of times(70-80mph)and the car didn't get nervous at all, couldn't keep that speed though, rain was coming down hard(had high speed on the wipers)but atleast I didn't have to worry about grip and could keep my consentration(sp?) on driving which was nice.no sliding during moderate cornering(wasn't gonna push it in the corners in the heavy rain)and stopped perfect.
Yesterday My wife and I went to mystic ct. for a day trip(put on around 150+ miles) very nice on a long trip down I395,very compfortable you almost forget these are uhp tires. came back home rt.12 to rt.169 nice country roads again, very sticky and alot of fun to throw around.No issues so far, very happy.
