I had the AVS intermediates on my old Coupe and damn they stick.  Even 
oin the wet they are awesome.  My only problem with them is that they 
dont last too long, i.e. only about 20,000 miles.  Which is suppose is 
ok, as they are not TOO expensive.  But in terms of dry performance, i 
dont know of anything that could beat them.  although, i dont know about 
P-Zero's in 15 inch size...hehe...but they are expensive as hell...maybe 
some Bridgestone S0-2's? anyway, catch ya later.
