Avon ZZ3

[paul1962]

Has anyone here used Avon ZZ3s and have any views good or bad ?
I'm changing to 19inch wheels on my Sag so looking for new tyres.
I know the ZZ3 get very mixed reviews but not found anyone who has used them on a TVR.

I don't about the Saggy ones, but I had two brand new ones when I picked up my Accord Type R about 6 years ago and they were rubbish, after about 2k I got so feb up with them that I went to Honda and asked to have the recommended bridgstones put on all fours, this transformed the car.

As I said not sure what the Saggy ones are like, they may be fine!!!

You know you want Kumho KU31's instead

Few reviews here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Avon/ZZ3.htm never used them myself, sorry.

Check the results of the the 2009 performance tyre test.

...they'd be rubbish just like their lager ?

Sorry John was that a thumbs up for Kumho ?

My original choice was Yokohama sports (on recommendation) which didn't turn up so I started the search again and I'm now more uncertain than ever. To make me more indecisive Yokohamas are now in stock..aaaarrrgh !
