After six years as the exclusive U.S. distributor of Avon brand tires, the Tire Rack is dropping the line.
Tire Rack signed the exclusive distribution deal with Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. in 2004, and played a role in the design and development of the tires sold here.
Cooper acquired the brand in 1997. The tiremaker has not indicated if it will pick up the brand, offer it to another distributor, or eliminate it from North America.
Avon brand consumer tires are still produced and sold in Europe, and Cooper’s Mickey Thompson subsidiary will continue to offer Avon brand motorcycle tires in North America.
