Avon ZT5 Tyres – Safety and Performance Guaranteed at High Loads
The Avon ZT5 tyres are part of the Avon car tyre range and suited specifically for heavier cars.
The Avon ZT5 tyres offer leading performance on various crucial tyre parameters such as handling and steering responsiveness, traction, noise levels and safety.
The Advantage of Using Avon ZT5 Tyres
If your regular day to day use of the car involves carrying higher loads than specified by the manufacturer, it is a good idea to switch to XL tyres for ensuring safety. The advantage of switching to Avon ZT5 tyres is that they offer increased load bearing capacity at the same size (as the standard tyre) due to reinforced sidewall construction. So you get extra load capacity on your tyres without costly upgrading of the alloys.
Avon ZT5 Tyres Tread Design
The tyre tread maintains contact with the road surface. So the tread characteristics and patterns dictate much of the tyre’s performance. The Avon ZT5 tyres incorporate a modern tread pattern best suited for everyday on-road driving. The tread pattern affects the following tyre characteristics:
- Wet Performance
The tread design incorporates 3 wide grooves along the circumference of the tyres and exhibits an open inner shoulder design. These two factors combine together to offer exceptional deflection of water from the under tread area, greatly reducing the risk of losing control on wet surface.
- Handling and Steering Responsiveness
Because of the XL construction, the sidewall of the Avon ZT5 tyres is reinforced with polyamide compound. This makes the tyres firmer and offers improved handling characteristics and steering responsiveness. You are assured of maximum stability at all speeds and all load conditions.
- Grip
The Avon ZT5 tyre tread pattern offers maximum grip on wet as well as dry surface.
- Noise Levels
The Avon ZT5 tread pattern is optimised through Avon’s Optinoise software. As the name indicates, the Optinoise software seeks to keep the noise at optimal (minimal) levels by optimising the pattern to minimise external noise.
Features and Benefits of Avon ZT5 Tyres
- You have complete control of the car at all times due to superior handling characteristics. This is an important factor, particularly while driving heavy loads.
- Offers maximum stability at high loads and speeds.
- Maximises safety due to exceptional grip and superior wet performance.
