I had the Avid V4 tires...

They were great when they were new. After a year and a half or 20,000 miles later they started getting noisy.

Snow traction once it got older suffered and I found myself slipping and sliding more often in the wet under aggressive driving even though I had a good amount of tread left. Once I started getting a leak from a nail I could no longer plug, I was happy to dump them for the Contiextreme contacts.
