Anyone have anything to say about the Avon Tech M500 tires and what size they may be running on their sedans with factory 17" rims? Thanks

 

I don't have a sedan, but I have run the Avon Tech M500's before. Tread wear is pretty good. Definitely handles better than my Falken 451's. I would say they are on par with a Kumho MX or Yokohama ES100.

I think they do have 235/50/17 (OEM size?), but perhaps you can go with a beefier 255/45/17 (at least the circumferences are the same). I'm not sure if the 17" sedan rim is wide enough though.

They use a G35 to advertise. http://www.avontyresusa.com/tires/tech_m500.html

 

Avon's are excellent tires! The only problem with them is that they're really heavy.

 

Because they cannot [at the price point] use expensive ultra strong light weight materials as Michelin does.
