Avon Tyre’s new ZT5 - Longer life and quieter running

Avon Tyres’ latest high-performance tyre, the ZT5, caters for a wide range of popular small, medium-sized vehicles, such as the Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Polo, Vauxhall Corsa, Citroen C3 and Peugeot 207.

Avon used the latest ‘pitch technology’ to reduce road noise for a quieter ride and to ensure that the new tyre conforms with EU noise legislation. The real star of the ZT5 is its innovative tread design, which offers optimum road grip when wet.

With excellent steering response and enhanced overall handling characteristics, the grooves of the tread design provide optimum aquaplaning performance.

The Avon ZT5 is T-speed rated and available in sizes ranging from 13- to 15-inch diameters. The product will be available to buy in the UK and mainland Europe from March 2010.
