Customer Feedback
Ranked #1 Tire for Cobras “In the world of vintage racing, the Avon CR6ZZ is often the mark which other tires are judged against.”
–Race Car Network
“I installed the new AVONS and let me say it is the best $2k I have EVER spent, its a whole new car, not even
close. Up to 100mph and its like butter... one finger on the wheel vs being scared to death thinking you will die
if you hit a groove in the road... If you are on the fence on what tire to buy GET THE AVONS no brainer.”
-Club Cobra
“Avons are in another class altogether. There is no comparison with a BFG or Billboard Goodyear. I've seen many Cobras and vintage Mustangs with very good 17" rubber completely embarrassed in the curves by a lowly 289 Mustang wearing the Avon CR6ZZ tires.”
-FFCARS
“They are simply awesome tires that truly transforms the car. Problem came when my lovey wife who isn’t a fan of sprited driving promptly provide me with the following ultimatum. If you want to drive that way, that's fine with me, but you’ll be driving by yourself.”
