I know the Avon is a more 'mid range' tire, but it still delivers in most of the areas that you want from a sporty to borderline 'UHP' tire. Leaves a little to be desired in wet grip, tending to push wide by preference when leaned on. Great in the dry, grip pretty well but tend to get hot pretty quickly on something the size and weight of the Volvo.
The most dissapointing thing about these is the durability, not only do they tend to dissapear remarkably quickly, but in the case of the rears, they have started to suffer from cracking (both in the tread grooves and on the sidewalls) on tires that are less than 2 years old and have done less than 20000km. Some quick reserch reveals that this is not a rare problem.
All in a good tire, maybe some better options out there, but certainly for the money they are a solid bet.
