Avon ZZ3
Reviewed by John Barr on
Tyres are tip top especially on B roads!
Tyre information and features:
- Superb wet weather grip
- Excellent dry roadholding
- Very predictable on-the-limit handling characteristics
- Gives you total confidence in driving your high performance car hard and fast
- Rim flange protector to guard your expensive alloy wheels against kerbing damage
- Wide range of fitments for most performance cars
Lots of ultra-high performance tyres give strong levels of roadholding, but the ZZ3 combines that talent with very gentle and predictable breakaway characteristics as you approach the limits of its grip; this gives drivers plenty of advanced warning that it's time to slow down and therefore a great feeling of confidence in their ZZ3s. And for skilled drivers in a racetrack environment, this predictability allows them to drift their car around corners at and beyond the limit of the tyres' grip. This is achieved through careful management of how the ZZ3's inner carcass and tread blocks behave in extreme lateral load situations, and thanks to a specially formulated rubber compound. That rubber formulation also contains a high silica content for improved wet weather roadholding - the ZZ3's distinctive arrow-head tread pattern and deep grooved shoulder blocks also help in this respect. As a further aid to the ZZ3's handling properties, its central circumferential rib promotes swift turn-in to corners.
