I'm not overly impressed by the AVS-Is on the Miata I just bought. Good
feedback, moderate grip. They are probably no faster than the Kumho
Ecstas were, but have less tread squirm. Neither are nearly as good as
the RE71RAZs I used to run, which were very similar to the Firestone SZ50
(alas no longer made). Those last two are a notch below the high-prices
spread of Pole Position S02s and MXXs. Don't know what your size choices
are in those.
