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.
