IMG_1306.JPG Like Merv I have XWX 185's and I don't recall having any of the stone pickup issue of the CN36's as mentioned by Scotty.

CN36's N4 compound ( Porsche worked with Pirelli on them).
I can confirm they are great - and they do chuck the stones around a little but I imagine all of the original style tread patterns are not as open cut as contemporary tyres.
185. You have period moulds, but modern construction and compounds. Best of both worlds.

If you look at the thickness of the sidewall of the Avon Tyre you can see why it should not be compared to the Michelin or Pirelli tyres.
They are designed to be supple and pliable to create a ride as close to the tyres of the era, whereas the Avon is effectively an R spec tyre and changes the ride characteristics.
