A good tyre design with very progressive grip generation in both wet and dry conditions. My complaints would be a lack of feedback caused in my opinion by a thin tyre side wall and a tendancy to pick up punctures at an alarming rate. In total I've purchased 11 Avon ZZ3's and have lost 5 to un-repairable punctures or high speed deflations.

A top tyre for the 350z - excellent value for money. I've just bought a second set of rears I like them so much. Sooo much better than the Bridgestone 040's in the wet/cold.

Also consider the Falken FK452's as these have been rated highly too.

I had these fitted to my Skoda VRS and they were a revalation !
The previous tyres were Bridgestone Potenzas (poor wet performance) but the Avons are fantastic.
There's nothing like having some confidence in your tyres when it's tipping down, these are the ones for me in future. They are great in the dry as well. I've had Goodyear F1, Toyos etc, ignore the hype, fit these.

After driving several focus st's before buying mine 2nd hand these where on the front. Nothing special in the dry but in the wet they because dangerous. The front end of the car skated around and they give no confidence at all. Since then I have had goodyear f1's and kumhos and even champiro's but nothing was everas bad as these. There are alot more tyres for less money whihc give you more.

I have been in the motor trade for approx 12 years and have seen 10,000 if not more tyres to be fitted to various cars of all shapes and sizes. The feed back i have had from customers about the ZZ3 is generally quite positive. Having said that i'm not convinced that some, if not a lot of motorists understand what is really going on beneath themselves and the road. In a nut shell, the ZZ3 is a good tyre, but providing you don't drive anything bigger or maybe heavier than a Vectra. Place them on a Rover 75 (i've seen this time & time again) & your asking for major trouble. But overall, they aren't too bad. Just don't fit them to the bigger than the average saloon. You've been warned!!!

I have always stuck to Pirelli tyres (P zero) in the past. I needed some tyres quickly and could only get Avon. Well frankly I think that I would now ask for Avon. Good in both the wet and the dry with good grip on cornering. Country roads are coped with easily and so are motorways. Great performance all round

Nice brand tyre for the price but wears badly for heavier cars. Also the outerwall seems to wear first, even on the back. Didn't last to well, front 10,000 and back 15,000.

I'm sorry to say, but i think these tyres are dangerous! My car is maintained to the highest standards and so i know it is the tyres giving me problems. I have no idea what the car is going to do in the wet despite being quattro. The tyres have loads of tread left on them but i am changing all 4 as i cant live with them anymore. I usually drive on manufacturer recommended tyres, and thats what i'm going back to. They are also the noisiest tyres i have ever known. I'm fed up of telling passengers that its the tyres making the noise and not my wheel bearings!

A good all round middle range tyre, impressive for the money, a nice progressive, safe road tyre, will never break any lap records with this tyre but recommended for road use, certainly on par with Toyo Proxies in most situations.
