Just ordered a set of the Cooper/Avon Spirit ST tires (110/80-18 & 160/60-18) for my 2014DX from Dennis Kirk and noticed that these tires are in back-order status at most sources. Evidently Good Year bought Cooper/Avon and moved the Avon mfg plant from Brittan to mainland Europe where the Spirit ST model is supposed to be continued. Two weeks ago I contacted Good Year USA to find out when the mfg process would start up again but they just forwarded my inquiry to "someone" that would get back to me ... sounds ominous. Hope the Avon Spirit ST lives on in the future .. these tires had the great performance and longevity of the discontinued Michelin Road 3 tires that I loved so much.
