I have had the Avon Tech M550's for about 3K now. I purchased snows for the winter so I didn't need the all seasons, but the wear, handling and traction ratings were slightly better than the 500's. I upgraded from a stock 16" with aging P6000's to 17" EVO's with 225 45 17's. So far I am very pleased with the whole change. The tires aren't all that noisy (if that is what "thrummy" means). Cetrainly less noise than the Pirelli's. The ride real smooth and haven't lost traction once in a few heavy rain days. I would definitely buy them again. As for uneven wear, I haven't noticed anything yet, but I'll keep checking them and update others if I have any problems.
I also just lowered the vehicle 1.4" and the combination of 17's, new tires and lower center of gravity have definitly spiked the fun to drive index :) !! I have these hairpin on ramps that I can now take at 15-20 mph faster.
