Excellent value for money at £96 per tire. Replaced budget Autogrip/Autoguard which have no grip at all in the wet. A little bit of road noise at Motorway speeds, but they give confidence in the wet. Recently driven in snow and they performed well. I was quoted £1200 for a set of four premium tires at Kwik-fit and these come in at £384 for four. I will keep buying these while they are available.

Used the ZZ3's on my BMW 320i. Its not a high performance car but has some power behind it and being rear wheel drive its always interesting to see how different tires react on it. I was very impressed with the ZZ3's. First of all they are cheap to buy and secondly they perform extremely well on a car with this engine size. If you're driving a smaller engine car you cant go wrong with these tires. And if you are running upto a v6 but are on a budget, Id recommend these. Personally Id never use budget/economy tires and these mid-range tires are the lowest Id go to. I have used premium brands and in my opinion I havent felt much difference. I dont drive aggressively but I do get urges to put my foot down now and then and test the rubber. I never use the same tires twice so next time I need tires I think I will give the newer ZZ5's a go. Overall I have been satisfied with the ZZ3's and would recommend them to others on a budget.

Had these tires on a c70 convertible, great tire for low noise, softening the ride and grip levels. Only real disappointment was the feathering that happening on the tires after only a couple of thousand miles. If you have a heavy car then your better getting reinforced tires but for a normal road car these are excellent value for money.

Brilliant tires, can wheelspin a bit too easy in the wet

Had the Avons fitted 4000 miles ago. After a bedding in period of around 400-500 miles, I started to test the tire. These tires offer good, if not somewhat spongy front end grip. They never 'fall off' quickly, but the feedback is somewhat less forthcoming, the harder you push the tire. These tires are amazing under brakes in the dry, although that sponginess can be felt, when heavy onthe pedal.

They do however come alive in wet conditions. The feedback is good, throughout a range of different treatments of the tire. And best of all they're immense still under braking. The apparent sponginess is negated by the wet surface and in fact makes for a pleasant and comfortable ride.

The tires are fitted to a 280bhp Golf Gti. Run on a race set up for brakes on the front and rear, with drilled and grooved discs, Yellowstuff pads, Goodridge stainless hoses and dot 5.1 fluid. It's an aggressive braking system and I'm sure that's why I'm receiving limited feedback from the front tires. Having said that, the tires are rated to 190mph+. So that would indicate the manufacturers expected some higher powered vehicles to be running their tire.

The previous Falken F452's, even though completely worn out when I first bought the car, offered better feedback up front than the Avons. Despite being an all round far worse tire. All in all the Avon suits the British climate very well, so it's a good compromise on other premium brand tires, at usually £30-50 a tire cheaper. The main downside to this tire is wear. Completely disregarding the amount of power running through the front end, see tires look set to last barely 8000 miles.

Parting shot! Want a mega tire, good in the wet and dry, aesthetically pleasing, plenty of feedback across the board, quiet, comfortable, refined, semi decent on wear and for under £120 a tire???? Buy the Vredestien Ultrac Sessanta. It's a way better all round package and I can't sing it's praises enough.

Great tires all in all. Bit lacking in endurance, but then I do abuse them somewhat. Fab wet weather tires.

Bit of an unknown quantity when originally fitted but on second set now. Great in the dry, loads of feel, surpisingly good in the wet, no nasty moments, lasted about 10K miles driving mainly to work and back.

Superb tire in both the dry & wet, have just put a set on the front of my civic type r and they have been excellent so far, including this morning when pulling away from traffic lights in the pouring rain with foot down didnt let me down.Grip in the dry at least as good when foot down round tight country rounds,feels like they will grip forever!!great tire will buy again without a 2nd thought

I've had these on the back of my SLK for a long time, so long I can't remember the mileage, they have lasted and lasted I'm finally down to the last mm of tread. I've been very impressed by the rear end grip these give, plus they are very progressive and let you know exactly what is going on near the limit. Very good wet weather grip, huge water shifting capacity judging by the plumes of spray behind me. As comfortable as any other tire. I would have used these again but my fitter does not carry them so I will be trying some Kumho this time. I would happily recomment this tire.

Very good value for the price

Best tires i've had for dry grip. Never one to take risks in the wet but seem to be stable on the motorway and under braking in heavy rain. Fitted to a fairly heavy Mondeo V6, the fronts didn't last all that long, but competitive I suppose for the level of grip on offer. Would buy again, although replaced them with Avon ZV5 as they were on a better offer this time.

these are great i have a very tuned car at 210 bhp going through the front wheels and had many different tires before i tried these and these are by far the best i take the car to track days and the grip is fantastic and great feedback i also use the car as my daily driver and my driving is by no means slow have ordered my next pair of zz3 now.
only drawback is they only last me 6000 miles but i do push it and they are loud but a small price to pay for safety.
