Default Avon tires?

I got nice pricing for Avon ZZ3 tires for my Escos. I never heard anything on street tires by Avon, only competition ones. Any opinions?

Not one of the usuall questions - do they wear quickly? I got now GY F1 GSD2 and the tread just diapeared in a matter of hundreds of miles. As a matter of fact I have to change them because the thread started to fall of the tires construction. Shame for Goodyear :-(

They are 1/3 cheaper then top brands so I don't expect anything special. I destroy tires really quick with Escos anyway so I just look for something that will have accepteble performance and won't make my wallet hurt anytime I go sideways.
