Avon ZZ3

The Avon ZZ3 is another performance tyre from Avon. Since the development of their directional pattern they have achieved an excellent reputation amongst the discerning performance driver. The Avon ZZ3 is the older brother of the Avon ZV3, the smaller and slower speed rated tyre. The ride quality is good and the Avon ZZ3 sticks to the road like glue although this tyre can sometimes be a little hard in wet and icy road conditions – we like the life offered by the Avon aswell, compared to most of its competitors it lasts a little longer, although the The natural competitor to the Avon is the Toyo Proxes T1-R and the Falken ZE512 which is comparable on performance and costs quite a bit less.

Avon ZV3

The Avon ZV3 is the younger brother of the Avon ZZ3, created for the lower speed rated vehicles and not directional. The Avon ZV3 is a favorite amongst the 1.4 litre super mini market including the Citroen Saxo and Vauxhall Corsa Max Power followers. This tyre offers performance and moderate life. We don’t see the Avon ZV3 as a market leader unlike the Avon ZZ3, however the price is ok and you can expect a decent performance. The alternative for the price conscious amongst you is the Falken ZE512.
