They saved my life! There was ice on the corner when I successfully stayed on the road, but the car in front of me wasn't that lucky. They really saved my life, the best tyres on the world, car is absolutely controllable on snow, ice and wet road.

Excellent tyres for the winter (of course). They seem to perform better in the cold and wet than in the warm and dry.
COLD AND WET: Just excellent - greasy roundabouts have all vanished - no skitting and skating with these. Not even explored their limit - they hang on in any conditions I have encountered.
COLD and DRY: Very good.
WARM and WET: Work very well still.
Warm and Dry: A little noisy during cornering. Come April this is when you know its time to change back to summers.
SNOW: Just incredible !! 50mph easy on fresh snow - I bottled before the tyre showed any sign of wavering. Grip, control. Drive sensibly, and snow need never be a hazardous issue again, at least if no one else is around, but in traffic, you are going to get rear ended if you use their stopping ability to the full, and filthy looks for how fast you are going.

After five sets of Avon ZV5'S on a VW Passat tdi l am quit pleased with the performance, they do seem to wear out quit rapid about every six to seven months in my case,
l do around 20k per year , so around ten thousand miles is normal , l do check the pressures two times per week , l have just found out that l have two front tyers that are faulty , the tyer company does not want to know , and Avon are the same , the tyers have 5mm on so looks like l have to ditch them
hope this helps

Without a doubt the worst tyre I have ever fitted. Even when new, these tyres caused me to constantly aquaplane at 40mph on the M25.
For me they were dangerous. I replaced them after only 2200 miles.

I truly believe it outperformed the Bridgestone and
Michelin faithfully used to buy.
Also at £ 71 supplied and fitted less than half what
Previously used to pay.
Much better wear just replaced my front two after 27000 miles!
2mm wear left. Rear still have 4mm
Don't get robbed at big national order them through small independent tyre fitters
