Although your car is 13 years newer than mine, I hope this helps. Not many people I've encountered realize that Avon makes car tires as well as motorcycle tires. Knowing this, I figure they have a fairly sticky compound. I used to run Douglas GT-H's on my 95 GS as they are a low priced touring tire readily available Wal-Mart or the like. These tires will take many miles on them and a little bit of abuse around corners. I spent $350 on 4 Avons from Tire Rack, back in the spring of '07. That's only $77 per tire, cheap for a street performance tire. They are Z rated in leiu of the H rated Douglas. I noticed how sticky these things were the instant I drove home from the garage after having them mounted & balanced. I could hear my new tires picking up tiny bits of gravel as i slowly drove out of the parking lot. As far as the punishment they caqn handle, make sure they are inflated correctly for your particular circumstance ( wieght, size, temp), and you should NOT be let down. These tires are like silent ninjas through rural back-roads. You'll chicken out before these tires will let go of the asphalt, I kid you not!
