Got any big plans.

I'm just improving the car (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And the "plan" is to NOT put it off until last minute...

What's up everyones sleeve?

Rob I probably shouldn't answer for Steve but I think I can give an accurate accessment...

If I were to compare the Avon, grip wise to another tire it would be somewhere between a Kumho Victoracer, and a Kumho Ecsta V700. On big cars, with big tires like ours the Victoracers work great.
Ecstas or OK

From what I saw the Avon lasts FOREVER. And STILL has good grip. BUT an important note is that all of the passes on Steve's Avons have been on asphalt NOT concrete. Makes a big difference.

From what I have heard, and observed so far...The Hoosier is no longer the fastest tire. V710 is the tire to have!!

I do have evidence to back it up, and am to lazy to look it up. But trust me....This is coming from results, and observations put up by BIG, BIG, names in the sport. Tunnel, Ames Strelnieks, and in our game, Jorgenson.
