And just to illustrate exactly why we have a NEPRT forum (where this thread is off to now...), for all the anecdotal evidence of wrong-doing, we have the following anecdotal example of where the Avon Storm has behaved brilliantly, where the grip, treadlife, and overall performance is nothing short of outstanding.
Here is a front Avon Storm with 6000 miles on it, replaced to match a new rear. Now, obviously, the center is more worn that the sides (duh), since this tire saw a large amount of High Desert highways and interstate traveling. Too, the tire still has a lot of tread remaining, but the smooth, even wear rate/pattern is about as good as it gets:
Here is another Avon Storm with 3000 miles on it. Looks barely worn
