The 195/50 R15S on my '04 2.5 Arctic have seen better days so am looking to replace them. Economics are more important than ultimate handling. What would you guys recommend? Blackcircles do good prices on Avons. I've got that make on my motorcycle and I like them.
Thanks for any thoughts.

@ £59 a tyre how about:
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 195/50 R15 82V https://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=11...

I've had the Avon ZV7 on a Kia Cee'd and now on the GT86. They are "ok". But they are more of a touring tyre. I'll be replacing them with something performance oriented from Michelin.

Hmm interesting thanks. The ZV7s are on offer with Blackcircles at around £185 for four, fitted, which is tempting given that I'm not doing track days or similar with the Mazda. It's more for touring.
