Did
you know that the Aston Martin that won Le Mans in 1959 was on AVON
tyres?
After
20 + years out of the spotlight, AVON returned to motorsport with
a bang in 1981, producing a large range of tyres for many different
formulae, even supplying tyres to Grand Prix teams in their first
season of manufacturing. AVON's commitment to continual investment
and development has resulted in phenomenal success in car racing
and also has produced World Champions in areas as diverse as Sidecar
Racing and Rallycross!
AVON's reputation for quality, consistency and innovation has resulted
in the company being the leader in control tyre supply - AVON have
held the contract to provide tyres to F3000 for over a decade, and
have supplied the British F3 championship since 1983.
Historic motorsport is very important to AVON, many new tyres have
been developed over the years to meet the demands of competitors
in this prestigious area.
An enthusiastic dealer network makes AVON a truly global player,
and the purchase of the company in the mid 1990's by the COOPER
TIRE Company, one of the worlds largest tyre manufactures, has considerably
strengthened AVON's position.
