Avon Ebonite Rubber. Widely used in frying pans until it was replaced by Teflon (R). The reason your tyres don't get 11K miles is why you are still alive enough to update this blog. Avon ended up as pretty much the last general tyre producer in the UK, owned by Goodyear through their Cooper Tire subsidiary. The Melksham plant closed in 2023 after 118 years. https://melkshamnews.com/historic-moment-as-last-ever-tyre-is-built-at-avon-ending-production-after-118-years/
"One of the last tyres made was for a vintage motorbike from the 1950s. Alan explained that he had carried on with the task while other staff went to sign their final contracts." Very sad....

The logo/typeface is distinctive, handsome, and very 1920s. --rats
