Questions and Answers for the Avon Ranger

2021-07-22 - Is the Avon Ranger for commercial vehicles? We have a VW Transporter 2013 High Top Auto Sleeper conversion and the gross wait fully loaded is a approximately 3500

We have the Ranger listed as an SUV tire but there's no reason you couldn't use it on a Transporter assuming you can find it in the correct size and a high enough load rating for your application.

2022-09-24 - Can I use this tires for Land Rover Freelander 2004? 235/60 R16

As long as the Avon Ranger is made in the correct size and load rating for your vehicle there's no reason you can't use the Ranger.

2023-03-15 - I’m looking at fitting these on a Vw caddy maxi. going with 215/65/16 any one fitted before so I can check fittment . Any advice?

Sorry, generally we can't advise on size swaps, I'd recommend checking out a Caddy specific forum as someone has surely done it (maybe with a different tire!)

Given 73% while driving a Toyota RAV4 (235/60 R16) on mostly country roads for 100 easy going miles
Very good tire in snow conditions, noisey, and bumpy, not great in wet.

I drive a 2001 TD5 D2 with a 2 inch lift. I can not fault these tires for normal road use and occasions off road work. Very good in the snow and wet. I have been advised that using these tires for a trip to Moroco may not be a good idea due to them being a re tread.

Given 81% while driving a Jeep Libery (235/70 R16) on a combination of roads for 6,000 average miles
They started with over 12mm of tread, they are remoulds using the old bfg all terrain pattern, they are 3PMS snow rated. I have run them on motorway, back roads, snow, deep muddy fields and confirm, they defy all expectations of a remould. They balance well although are difficult to mount due to a really stiff sidewall. They are obviously noisy compared to a road tire, and slightly more than the Goodyear Wrangler AT that was originally fitted. Fuel economy has dropped only by 1 or 2 mpg. In snow they are strong and grippy, no squeal in rain, mud they just dig in, used recently to recover several cars bogged in at a camp site. I have run around 6000 miles, barely a mm has gone from tread.

Given 87% while driving a Land Rover Discovery Series 2 TD5 (235/85 R16) on track for 2,000 average miles
they are on an old discovery only used on the farm on the south downs. the 85s are for the extra ground clearance, remoulds are cheaper on the farm amongst the sharp flints, i get good grip in bad conditions of road. Good compromise between road and rough terrain.

Given 80% while driving a Jeep Libery (235/70 R16 S) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
These are a heavily treaded all terrain tire. They are designed for the rough, They came new with 12mm of tread, they are 3 peak mountain snow rated. They are the same pattern as BFG all terrain MK1 at a fraction of the price. I paid £60 each. They have seen snow, mud and heavy rain over the last 12 to 18 months. I live in the Welsh Hills. The roads are pretty poor. These tires are excellent. They grip in all conditions. They will push wide in the wet, but that's to be expected, they are not a high speed tire. They are relatively noisy compared to road biased tires, but not excessively. They don't make long journeys a drag. Fuel wise I have lost around 2mpg compared to the nexen Rodians that came on the Jeep. I have run them for 14 months and have lost 2mm tread. On motorway, and rural roads, back roads and off road tracks. They have a really stiff sidewall, they were hard to mount and had to be warmed to flex and be able to fit on the rim. However they balanced easily. Really good quality remould.

Just had 4x Avon Ranger Tires fitted, they suit my car very well with a good chunky tread. I will always fit Avon to any vehicle I own they are a very reliable tire.

Given 50% while driving a Nissan Qashqai (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 65,000 easy going miles
I replaced my original fit tires on a 2litre Qashqai being pleased to find a British made tire. However although their were characteristics are great (35000 and still some left)after about the first 20000 miles they became extremely noisy at all speeds and different road surfaces. I checked with Avon Technical and the supplier but no explanation other than a vague reference to "constellating" and an invitation to replace them at my expense in order to return to Avon for testing and report. I decided to "live with it" until the next replacement (now coming up) but am reluctant to go the same way again.

I am playing around with tires to find the best for my Freelander and have found these to be as good as Continental All season tires, and even better on the bit of frosty tarmac we have just seen. A British made tire at least as good as the big name @ a fraction of the cost.

Given 100% while driving a Land Rover Discovery 1 1996 (235/70 R16) on a combination of roads for 22,000 average miles
We have had Michelin, Good Year and Pirelli nothing matches these! No matter where we go what we pull the never seem to wear, this is our second set of Avon's and if were a bit late they will take corners surprisingly hard surprising us and others!!. Dry or wet they never let go! The side walls hold up well considering the disco ways 2.7 ton. It has never been stuck although we haven't really taken her off road properly the tires will cope with wet grass, messy mud ruts and snow! which is all we need really. They are very quiet long journeys are no problem 80-90 mph. Overall excellent think we have found a tire for life

This a update to my previous review, a year further on and the tires are still looking great very little wear showing after nearly 10.000 miles.
The heavy snow we had here in South Wales over the winter gave me a chance to chech these out in 4 wheel drive and they performed excellently......Highly recommended.

Given 100% while driving a Nissan Qashqai (215/65 R16) on mostly country roads for 30,000 average miles
Superb tires that I fitted to my Qashqai to replace the original Bridgestones that barely lasted 20k. I'm approaching 30k and reckon there's about another 5k left. On the muddy country roads where I live they have excellent grip and they're superb in the wet. The only thing they didn't work in was the snow, but then you'd need to buy the Ranger Ice tires for that.

Given 93% while driving a Land Rover Freelander 2 (235/65 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 1,500 average miles
I bought these as replacements for cheaper Kenda tires that were fitted when I bought my freelander, I had considered Goodyear Wranglers but decided to save a few quid and try the Avons.
I was really impressed with the improved road handling and the soft quiet ride, road holding in both wet and dry seems much better as for longevity I cannot really mark with honesty as I have only done about 1500 miles since fitting but as yet they look almost unused.
