Avon is owned by Cooper Tire. It is their European division.

A buddy of mine had Avon's on his 6.0L GTO for the end of last season. He just replaced them with Fusions for this season becasue large chunks of rubber were coming off of them. When I say large chunks I'm talking candy corn size pieces. The man does about 20 road course track events per summer and generally goes through 2 sets of tires doing this. I know they were put to the test.
