Yup - I used to run summer/performance Avons on my Prelude SH. I don't remember the specific model, but they were some of the best tires out there - I beat the crap out of them, and they held up for 50k miles! Great grip, and excellent feel, even in the rain. When I needed to replace the ones I had, I went into our local tire chain and they told me they no longer carried them, and no one else in the US did either. I had them look through their system anyway and they found 6 of them in Cali somewhere, so I bought four of them.
They only left the US market for a couple of years, and came back with new models, so I'm not sure what the newer ones are like. But if the ones you are looking at for your VX are as good as the sport tires I had on the Prelude, then you will probably be happy.
PS - My local tire shop (Town Fair Tires) matches TireRack prices - you should check to see if your local shop does, too.
Good luck!
