Control The Elements
Dry or wet, cold or hot, snowy or muddy, on road or off it, whatever conditions you're driving in you want tyres that you don't have to worry about, tyres that put you in control. In other words, Avon Tyres.

 

ZV5 - The new premium tyre from Avon
Designed to offer premium performance in a wide variety of conditions, the new ZV5 from Avon has been developed using advanced tyre technology combined with over 100 years experience of producing high quality tyres. If you've been searching for the best all-round tyre for your car, the hunt is over - the ZV5 has arrived.

The ZV5 has been designed to fit a very wide range of cars, from hatchbacks to executive saloons, MPVs to sports cars. There's probably a ZV5 to fit your car; our table lists all the available sizes. So ask your tyre fitting centre for the Avon ZV5 - your car deserves it.

ZZ3 - Ultra-high performance tyres for sport orientated 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.

ZV3 - Tyre for performance saloons.
In August 2003 European directive No. 2001/43 introduced new guidelines governing the amount of noise a car tyre can create - the ZV3 is comfortably within those limits while retaining all the wet and dry weather grip and handling predictability for which Avon tyres are renowned.
The ZV3's tread pattern is split into three sections. The inside shoulder is designed to efficiently disperse water from under the contact patch, while at the same time its tread blocks are of a computer-optimised shape to dramatically reduce noise levels. The centre section of the tread pattern combines diagonal grooves with an unbroken circumferential ring to sharpen steering response and resist aquaplaning. Finally, the outer shoulder employs tread blocks designed to promote cornering stability, adding to the ZV3's confidence-inspiring behaviour at the limit of its grip. And unlike fully directional tyres, the ZV3's asymmetric tread pattern means it can be fitted to any corner of your car.

CR322 - The fuel economy tyre.
With its carcass and tread pattern optimised to reduce friction between the tyre and the road surface in a straight line, while retaining excellent roadholding through corners, the CR322 is what's known as a low rolling resistance' tyre designed specifically to help improve fuel economy. (There is a proviso here - the CR322 must be fitted as a set of four to be fully effective.)
In addition to saving money at the fuel pumps, the CR322's rubber compound is carefully formulated to promote long tyre life, for true great value motoring.
Outright performance doesn't suffer, however, the CR322 starring as the standard-fit tyre in the Caterham Academy race series for the fast and nimble Seven sports car.
