Andy - correct - not a fan of Avons. Too knife edge in the wet for me. But Vredesteins have just become unobtainable in that size and my last hope - Blockleys touched the top cross tube at the spring mounting. Even the Avons only have about 6mm clearance there.
The tyres in the pics are new, it's the trim shop floor that needs a sweep.
