Have them on my A4. B8. 3.00 tdi quatro .replaced Conti tyres. Far better wear than the conti and just as good in all other respects . Best of all they were much cheaper !

I needed to replace the original fitment Michelin ps 2s on my Audi, but at nearly £200 each I decided to look for a different tyre. After much deliberation I chose these new Avon ZZ5.
First impressions are they are a lot quieter on the road compared to the worn Michelins which is probably to be expected, I will have to see if the the comfort level drops as they wear. Dry grip is slightly squishy if not slightly vague on initial turn in, but plenty of there after. Wet grip is good and will only under steer if really pushed hard.
The only thing I really did not expect from these tyres was a 3-4 miles DROP in MPG!! Due to the rolling resistance I presume??
Over all at approximately £75 cheaper than the original Michelins they are good value but may end up costing me more over the life of the tyre due to the MPG.

Came with the car when purchased second hand. Some road noise apparent and a slight roll feel on corners at moderate to higher speeds. Overall OK but not brilliant. NZ roads can vary in quality and these sound very noisy of certain aggregate surfaces but acceptable on tarseal roads. Reasonable value for money @ NZ$550 each

Placed these on a audi a4 3.0 quattro, they took about 500 miles to bed in and whilst doing had a awful floaty / vague feeling to them.. As soon as the moulding marks disappeared they performed as good as proxy p1s and p zeros.. However after only 5 k miles they started producing a lot of road nose that increased as you slowed or braked... Replaced them with proxy p1s arguably the best tyre out there..
Would not recommend the fallen 452, spend slightly more on the p1s that will last you at least 3 times the mileage

According to Nokia, the Hakka Z and the Z G2 are 2 different tyres. The hakka Z is for courser asphalt, and according to Nokian, it tolerates the temperature variations found in the Nordic countries.

Seem to be a better tyre , improved ride comfort, less noise and i think an improvement in fuel consumption of about 5%, although it is early days yet for a definative answer. No idea about wear rates.
