Gave Avon ZV7 on Civic a serious workout today in the heavy rain we have had in our neck of the woods. Pulling away from junction hard and crash stops on various road surfaces (where ABS hardly cut in) I was very impressed with level of grip. Car also steers very well, so what not to like? Her indoors MK2 Jazz now shod with 15" Avon ZT5 now, so next time I am in Jazz on my own
will check them out properly as well, at the moment all I can say is they are quiet and steer well.
The only thing I can't comment on yet is life of tyres, but being as my mileage is less than 10k a year these days not really a worry for me, especially considering they are £25 a corner cheaper than Michelin ES+ and other tyres. A UK company as well, so also being patriotic.
