Product description & features
The Avon AV12 is a van tyre, designed to deliver a low rolling resistance performance, whilst remaining durable and reliable.
The AV12 is the successor to the AV11 and has been developed to provide motorists with a 10% rolling resistance improvement compared to the AV11 - resulting in less fuel consumption.
Avon have constructed the AV12 with a durable sidewall - helping to improve the tyre's longevity and reduce the risk of damage. A special silica compound blend has been used in the makeup of the tread - to help increase the handling performance and wet braking capabilities of the tyre.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
