The Avon ZZ5 tyres are premium high performance tyres suitable for passenger cars. The tyres are associated with an ultra-high performance, great grip in both dry and wet conditions and also excellent steering responsiveness. Enhanced steering responsiveness: These tyres are performance-focused tyres suitable for high end sports cars. The asymmetric tread design contributes significantly towards offering excellent grip which helps ensure superior handling. These tyres offer fantastic steering response to enable a stable and effective driving experience. Minimised noise levels: To ensure maximum comfort when driving, these tyres aim to offer high performance at a reduced rate of decibels. You can be confident of an improved driving experience due to the reduced tyre noise. Reduced stopping distances: Within the asymmetric tread design, the inner shoulders are optimised to increase contact pressure. Along with the central tread, where the continuous circumferential grooves efficiently displace water, this design reduces the risk of aquaplaning. Overall, braking distances are reduced to ensure your safety when driving in wet conditions.
This pattern may be suitable as Original Equipment for a number of different car manufacturers. If you are unsure what the symbols mean within the tyre search results, please head over to our tyre symbols guide.

Grip and road holding greatly improved
Quite noisy compared to previous tyres due to softer compound.

Particularly good on country roads where the feedback when cornering and high grip levels have impressed me.
Nothing at all.

handle well- own a big car and drive it hard- fronts worn down very quick but rears still like brand new buying again when these our done.
wear quick on fronts
ZZ5 reviewed by Jonathan Davis on 16/06/2019
They handle very well, traction is very impressive and appear to be wearing evenly, if at all. They stop, go and corner very well, in the wet or dry. I’ve yet to use them in wintery conditions, but the car feels like it will cope admirably. I’ve done nearly 5000miles on the tyres, I’m very pleased with them.
The wheels are large and the tyre very low profile, as such they are noisy and uncompliant, but this is the nature of the car and the tyre size, not the quality of the tyre.
ZZ5 reviewed by Gregory Edwards on 27/05/2019
Good improvements in ride comfort & response to harsh braking.
Tread wears down relatively quickly, but down to an individuals annual mileage and driving style.
ZZ5 reviewed by Scott Ambidge on 30/04/2019
Tyre's look great on the alloys, and a massive improvement in ride quality/handling compared to the run flat tyres the car previously had. Very grippy and you can feel how the tyre is reacting to the road conditions, car handles amazingly in corners
I've noticed a bit of extra wheel spin under hard acceleration when pulling away at junctions, but nothing too excessive

Still look new 3 months later
Poor grip. Lose air a lot... tyre pressure warming every 400-600 miles of mixed driving

ZZ5 reviewed by Brian Dillon on 23/04/2019
These are good all round tyres for normal driving. I have used these tyres for the past 3 years and recommend them. The general handling, cornering qualities of any tyre are also dependent on the geometry of the car and in my case the Focus ST has excellent road-holding so my comments might not apply to another car.
No dislikes. Good value for money.

Exceeded my expectations. I was looking for good but inexpensive tyres. A few people were not complimentary re Avon but I got a good deal and gave them a go on my BMW.

ZZ5 reviewed by Simon Marshall on 02/03/2019
Excellent tyres for the price and the ride quality is really good, they inspire confidence and equal if not better than the Bridgestone's they replaced. I will be replacing the rear tyres with these when they are ready.
Maybe not quite the cornering ability of the Bridgestone's but that's a minor issue.

ZZ5 reviewed by Tim Sunderland on 22/11/2018
Have these on the rear and decided to match on the front. The tears did the Nurburgring in under 10mins without an issue and felt good, stable, great grip and confident on the rear, so I opted for a set on the front. Need to go back to test these on the front at well. Very happy with them.
Haven’t been on the front as a full matching set long enough to make a full judgement. Excellent on a trip up a windy broken surface road so far.
ZZ5 reviewed by KEVIN KANE on 11/11/2018
I was advised by a friend to fit Avon tyres after complaining about the noise and numbness from the Continental tyres that were fitted as standard to the car. In America this car is very common and they have experience with the cars. I took the advice and never looked back. Completely changed the driving of the car. The other cars I have are fitted with Mercedes Approved Continentals. If i had to change the tyres it would be with Avon Tyres. Great wear and they look the part. Excellent service provided on every occasion by the National Service Centre in Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
ZZ5 reviewed by Robert Coultous on 05/11/2018
Very quiet tyres (better than the michelin pilot sport 3 they replaced, although these were several years old). Grip equally as good, safe in the wet, good price, British made. Well worth it just for the very low road noise alone!
Quiet soft compound (proably why so quiet), so time will tell how the wear goes, although not a big issue for me as the car does quite low mileage.

Great looking at a very good price with excellent grip.
ZZ5 reviewed by Stephen Brook on 24/09/2018
Bought four of these to replace two ditch-finders on the front and two OEM Bridgestones on the rear that came with the car. Ditch finders gave no confidence, Bridgestones were noisy and rock hard to drive on. As soon as these were fitted the noise level reduced substantially and handling tightened up. Comfort also improved, no more thudding through the cabin on poor road surfaces. Grip is vastly better and you can really push the car around corners, wet or dry, with confidence. Great value for these, very worthwhile at the price.
Not convinced about wear per se, based upon other reviews, and I'm too new on the tyres to know for myself. I suspect that these may not last as long as the usual suspects (Michelin, etc), but at the price I'm willing to live with maybe 20k on the front, instead of the usual 25k.

I bought the car with Conti's and was almost pleased when it was time to change the rears as the road noise was so loud and felt every bump like it was a pot hope. I put a full set of Avon's on and now have a much smoother ride and much less road noise. These are really good all weather and builds good confidence. They don't last as long as some other brands but then they don't cost as much either. Really good tyre which I highly recommend

Had Bridgestone before, Avon equal or better handling and much quieter ride. Although tread/mileage rated above as 8 that is hopeful rather than factual as 3 months use is not enough to gauge wear. Also aqua planing resistance has not been experienced yet so rating above is again a hopeful answer.

Been using the services of National Tyres and Autocare for a few years now. Purchased 2 of these tyres earlier in the year and paid just about £350. Incredibly expensive I thought at the time but reassured that they were good tyres. Returned today and encouraged to have the same tyres and to have the balancing sorted out. All in all another financial kick in the teeth and just short of £400. The staff assured me I was getting a good deal and each tyre was valued at £186.50 on the invoice. Sadly, when I returned home and spent some time on the internet I realised I could get exactly the same tyres and fitted for less than £100. My fault for not shopping around and trusting Dick Turpin and his merry men at National Tyres in Blackburn. To add insult to injury I then realised that I could buy the same tyre online from Dick for just over £100. I am obviously a mug.....a mug that will never shop with National Tyres again.....please do likewise.

Ever since these tyres were fitted, the front wheels don't feel balanced and the steering wheel shakes between 60 and 70 mph. Having taken the car back to National to re-balance they don't appear to be able to rectify the problem and yet the wheels were perfectly balanced before with the old tyres.

I have used Contis and Pirelli P zeros previously and the car was unstable at high speeds in the wet and dry and no confidence in them to get me where I'm going. With these Avons I can honestly say the cars transformed. I drive fast country roads a lot and the car goes now like its on rails. under hard Accelleration te car only slightly spins for a moment and then takes off. I'm at over 200bhp with no weight which most tyres would struggle to deal with that. These do not surprisingly. They will now be the only tyres being used on this car and the others now going forward.
No dislikes yet with these tyres to be honest.

Mid range brand therefore not ridiculously expensive as the ones recommended by Mercedes. Have got good tyre wear from the various Avon sets i have had over the years. The car drives fine on them - no dramas. Plus they have stayed round, unlike a previous set of Pirellis which flat spotted soon after buying and resulted in lots of steering wheel vibration.
Nothing in particular, I think they are a good tyre for a reasonable price.

They were a good price and although the price is similar to mid range tyres in other brands, the Avon tyres seem to have premium performance.
The se tyres do not feel quite as good in fast cornering or in wet grip as the Michelin Primacy 3s that I always used in the past, also the wear is not as good. However, given the substantial difference in price, I do not regard this as being unreasonable. It could not be said that the Avons are a cause for concern and I have never felt that I have lost control, or that there has been any risk, just that the Michelins inspired more confidence.

I previously always replaced Continentals with Continentals ( German Car so German Tyres!). Anyway they also always seemed to wear quickly and therefore decided to buy British with Avon. So glad I made the leap of faith. I feel more response in the steering and after the first 100 miles they have given a much smoother ride. Also after the recent deluge I have total confidence in their ability to cope with wet/aquaplane problems that I can't avoid. ( Late at night sudden standing water and a car coming the other way).
