The Avon SM tyre is most definitely a cross ply, not a radial. However, whilst they've been used by many A7 owners for many years, they're a motorcycle tyre, not a car tyre. The two have different design characteristics and now that such as the Longstone and Blockley cross ply tyres, designed specifically as car tyres, are available, to me the choice is obvious. I have Longstones on all my Sevens and would never change back. Whilst Longstone do have a French web site, they are not located in France. Any tyres ordered would come from the depot in South Yorkshire and they have quite a reputation for getting tyres to customers world wide very quickly. Longstones every time for me.
