New tyres (Avon ZV5)

[jonesy_ni]

4 tyres fitted today, went for the Avon ZV5, anyone had them?

Put on 2 Federal SS595 tyres on front 20k ago, they did well, i think they were a bit noisy though, but were great value, and the NCTs on the back did 40k.

Seem very quiet compared to before, not had a chance to try them in the wet yet, but seem great in the dry.

Will see what i can get out of them

Nearly went for Avons, instead of my Bridgstones when I had 4 fitted recently, whats the price of those Avons matey..?

[jonesy_ni]

I had been looking at them, and heard good reviews on the Avons, but the cheapest i could find them was about £115 each fitted. Wasnt paying that, was looking for something else.

Local place had them at £70 each fitted! He said the price was not right but was on the screen.

Happy enough with that!

Look very similar to my Bridgestone ER300 - very similar tread. They were £195 for the pair fitted from Modern Tyres in Antrim.

Where did you get yours?

wont last you the 20k you got out of the last ones...........you will be lucky to get 12k - 15k at a push

Magowans mate in Mallusk.

I am still on 215s, the 225s were a good bit more

IIRC, Cooper Tires (the American brand/company that own Avon) are cheaper than Avons for exactly the same tyre.

I didn't think Avons were very favoured by forum members?

I have these on the front, they are very grippy in both wet and dry conditions and i think around 20K is about right for these (depending on type of driving of course), will definatley buy them again

You tried these mate? They are only out a few months

I noticed they were the ZV5's and not ZV3 which most are more conversant. I dont think those were out when I was looking a few months ago.

As 'ZS' said they do indeed look very similiar to the Bridgestone ER300 tread pattern.
