Default Those that run Avon tires

Any feedback good bad or indifferent? What did you choose, for what application?
Seen a couple pics here not too long ago..C3 or 2 cant recall but the owners raved about them.
Quick peek on their site I was blown away..need a fair amount of time to see what they have to offer.

If you "wish they made a " type tire ck them out it may be possible.
Asked on another forum about where to get some 15" tires in 50 series...good luck lol.
Was steered towards Avon just thought Id ask for general feedback here.

I have them (CR6ZZ) on my 69 and absolutely love them. Only downside is the price. Really sticky. I have 275/55/15 on the back and 245/60/15 on the front. Not enough miles on them to have a feel for wear, but wouldn’t run anything else after driving on them. About the only high performance tire left for us that insist on 15’s. Don’t tell anyone, but I stenciled mine Goodyear.

I got some Goodyear Blue Streaks from Used Racing Tires.com for $125 each, with 3/4 tread still on them. I got them just for the look on a custom trike I am building. Probably not the best choice for a street car.
