Anyone have AVON ZZ1 tires on their WRX ?

If so, can you tell me a little about them?

Thanks

 

Ive honestly never even heard of these. Are they expensive, cheap, what?

Where did you find out about them?

I found a review by a miata owner here http://www.miata.net/products/wheels/avon.html

Must say I've never heard of them either, and some searching on google didn't find any big name places selling them for what it is worth.

Really, does a certain company make them or something. Link please.

 

Avon tires have been around for decades. They're from Great Britain and have been used in European motorcycle racing forever. I think they used to be standard on Rolls and Bentley's too.

Company is now affiliated with Cooper Tires in US

See: www.avontires.com

I've had a set on my new Rota Subzeroes for a few hundred miles now. I have same reaction as the Miata guy did. I've gone a lot faster on them on certain familiar roads and haven't been able to make them squeal yet! I got them from local distributor that I found on their website for about $89 each. I'm very happy so far.

 

Wow, that's a good price. What tire size?

 

I got 215/45R17 size. They are directional and have good deep tread.

 

I'll be needing new tires in a few months, I think I shall be checking these out. 89 bucks Now all I need to line up are some Rotas on my car.
