Avon ZZ5 boosted to A grade for wet grip

Avon Tyres’ flagship ultra-high performance (UHP) product, the acclaimed ZZ5, has achieved an A-grade for wet grip, the highest rating awarded under EU regulations, across all sizes in the range.

The compound of the tyre has been reformulated and now features a high-dispersion silica tread which, combined with a three-dimensional polymer network, provides exceptional wet grip, improved braking and rolling resistance, all without affecting the tread wear performance.

Designed and developed firmly with the driving enthusiast in mind, the ZZ5 was tested extensively on the roads and racetracks of Europe.

The ZZ5 also benefits from Avon’s cutting-edge Optinoise technology, ensuring a quieter ride, while the tyre’s Tri-Arc mould shape works with its tuned construction to improve contact pressure distribution and provide crisp, predictable handling.

Avon Tyres UK Sales Director, Jason Clarke, said, “Since the ZZ5 was launched, it has received rave reviews from customers. I’m excited to see us take this flagship UHP product a further step forward, with an A grade for wet grip across its entire fitment size range, providing the optimum in performance and safety at a value for money price.”

The ZZ5 is available in sizes ranging from 17- to 19-inch rims. For more information contact distributors Mileage Tyres on 044 93 43557.
