Possibly the worst tyre ever

Be very careful out there

If I recall correctly they came out bottom of EVO's tyre test and eveyone on here slates them.

Got to say they're pretty sticky. Took a couple of hundred miles to bed in but they do feel really good! Scrubed my potenza's in 5 thou, took a risk really leaving them till seven thou to change them. But at £130 a pair don't mind if I only get 5k out of them

The ZZ3 is a generation ahead of the ZZ1 both in terms of grip / handling and road noise. Toyo's, F1's & S02 were all tested against this when designing the ZZ3.

After having the ZZ1 on my old 205 I would never by Avon again.... they were the worst tyre ever! Also the worst marketing job for Avon as I know many people share my view.
