The Avon ZZ5 is an ultra-high performance car tyre, for driving enthusiasts and high end sports cars owners.
Avon have implemented an Intelligent Asymmetric Tread Design for the ZZ5 to ensure a high end performance. The outcome of this design means the tyre features an inner shoulder construction that promotes even wear and enhanced wet grip. The tyre's continuous central groove works by removing water from the tyre's path - for less risk of aquaplaning.
Avon have also developed the ZZ5 to feature a wide continuous outer shoulder to increase the tyre's handling capabilities in both wet and dry conditions.
The tyre's high concentration of silica in the tread compound, blended with Avon's state of the art polymer technology, delivers excellent traction on both wet and dry road surfaces.
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.
