Any word on whether the brand will continue past the end of the year?

I have not heard anything. I bought new tyres last month and noticed the Avon Storm 3D XM are no longer available. The Spirit ST are still listed by Protyre who have several branches across the UK. I bought some Bridgestone T31 as newer T32 not available.

The Avon website's latest "news" story about motorcycle tyres is a new tyre launch in Jan 2022. Latest "news" about their racing car tyres is Oct 2022. I assume Goodyear have no intention of maintaining this portal.

I can't find any chatter about the classic car racing tyres either. Avon car road tyres have been made in Serbia for several years. The ZV7 is a very popular mid price tyre across Europe and I assume they will continue to make those.

Really a pity that the Storm 3D is discontinued, I have had a couple of pairs and been very satisfied with their performance and value.

I was happy with the T31 in Spain. Not properly tested them in wet weather yet. Like the Storm 3D, they are one revision behind the newest T32 tyre and significantly cheaper.
