Nice choice Ian.
I have been studying tire choice for myself at Tirerack.com, and I just ordered a set of Avon Tech M500 tires in the stock, 205/50/17, size. They're ultra high performance summer spec. They were ranked 2nd best in that category after the BFG's you selected (out of 39 tires). I was tempted by those BFG's too, but the Avon's were rated as quieter in the reviews and tests, which is important to me. The Tire Rack rep. agreed with my selection after hearing my criteria. I'm not familiar with Avon, and ususally like to stick with the brands I know and trust, so we'll see. The rep told me that they are an English company bought by Cooper Tire a year or two ago.
