Yes, someone probably wrote that. After four or five sets of them I still haven't found them any more unpredictable in the rain than others and they're better than some I've tried (like I personally didn't like the feel of the AV33/34 radials on wet). Tom Bowman Atlanta A14 "Stella"

Which Avons does the list prefer. AM24s or AV33/34 I ride in the rain all of the time.

I'm gonna hear it on this one but... One of the things I like the most about my Jeep and hate the most about other's SUV's is the height. Yes, it's nice to be able to see 4 cars ahead but if any of you have ever done any avoidance drills (hard left, hard right, hard left again) you know how tippy they are. Last time I saw this was a Grand Cherokee just like mine in Atlanta on I85. It rolled 7 times. VBTH (very bad things happen) Most folks don't realize that the first left, right is ok but after that you have a wave effect with the high center of gravity and the long travel suspension that just about throws you upside down. You're better off hitting what you're trying to avoid or taking the ditch. Geeze, I'm full it today... Just ignore me if I offend. I'll be better tomorrow.
