Replacing the acclaimed Avon ZV5, the newly-developed ZV7 incorporates a range of advanced technologies that mean it offers a host of added features and benefits.
The distinctive tread pattern of the new Avon ZV7 is designed with large circumferential grooves that clear water quickly and efficiently to reduce aquaplaning in the wet. It features sequenced tread blocks to reduce noise generated from the road, providing a quieter driving experience.
The Avon ZV7 tread pattern also features 3D sipes, which have interlocking three dimensional points inside the sipe. The 3D sipes provide the same benefits of a traditional sipe, including helping the tire warm up and providing enhanced wet grip, but limit the amount of flex in the tread block which helps control the amount of heat generation in the dry and keeps the tread block stable.
Using the latest available polymer technology and advanced mixing techniques, the ZV7’s tread compound delivers excellent wet and dry grip while also reducing rolling resistance for great fuel efficiency.
Tire review data from 134 tire reviews averaging 71% over 856,254 miles driven, and 13 tests with an average result of 17th.

2016-09-06 - Hi, when did the Avon ZV7 replace the ZV5? thanks
The Avon ZV7 was launched in April 2016
2017-05-03 - Could you let me know ZV7 tires are unidirectional please? I have purchased a pair of 225/40/R18 for my VW Golf online, I request a pair suitable for my front axle, nearside and offside front, however they have arrived today and appear to for one side only, ie inline. I would be grateful for your advice.
The Avon ZV7 is asymmetric, which means it can run in any direction. The tire must be mounted correctly on the wheel, but it can go either side of the car, even if the tread pattern does look slightly different side to side.
2019-06-07 - Would the Avon ZV7 fitted to my Volvo V70 2009, be ok as I tow a caravan. Within the specification it states for passenger cars.
Yes, as long as you're within the specified load rating.
2022-06-10 - I am considering the purchase of the ZV7 tire but am worried by reports of tire cracks. Do these tires have a fault resulting in cracks ?
I've not seen any unusual reports from media or reports from the manufacturer about an ongoing issue with cracking.
2022-07-22 - Did The ZV7 replace The ZZ5 as well as The ZV5 ?
At time of writing there is no news on a ZZ5 replacement. The V version of the tire was usually more comfort bias, so there might be a ZZ7 in the future!
2023-12-31 - What is the maximum and minimum PSI for AVON 225/50/17. 98XL , ZV7 , front and rear. Please . Thank you
maximum will be on the sidewall, usually something around 50psi. Minimum is not something given, but less than 20psi without bead lock would be risky.
