Avon Tyres
« on: February 06, 2009, 12:45:29 pm »
Hi everyone

The time has come for new front tyres... am probably going to go for Continentals again but I hate spending money on tyres... has anyone experienced Avon tyres as these are quite cheap...?

Thanks

i used zz3 for quite a while on the anni and thought they were good. i used about 3 sets in a row, so must have been good.

i only switched becuase i noticed the conti sport contacts had a great kerb protector! ;)

I swapped to Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's from the Conti's and they are much better. I've also had Avons and didn't rate them in the wet. They also wore out pretty quick.
