Anyone ever see a comparison between Goodyear and Avon compounds? Like a Goodyear 165 is comparable to an Avon A50 compound. I tried all kinds of Internet searches, but this jewel is simply missing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

The man to ask about this would be Jeff Kiesel, as I'm sure he's run both, and probably tested them side by side. We know he's in the Goodyear camp, as he's a contract driver for them. However he only became a contract driver after doing extensive testing and determining that they were the best tire for his car. He could tell you which compounds are comparable and probably give you an honest evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the two. You should be able to get ahold of him through the Arizona and/or San Diego region solo2 websites, or also on Facebook. He's even got an account on 914world under 'FD racer', but I doubt he checks it often. Good luck.
