This morning travelling to work I heard that Continental tyres were voted best

 

Winter, Summer & All weather tyres! first time ever a tyre brand has won all three sections.

 

Any of our members run their Z on these tyres?

i do. i like them. good value for money, low road noise, good dry weather grip, and more than adequate wet weather grip.

Premium Contact and Sport Contact.

Conti Sport Contact always score highly in tests - and rightly so, they are great tyres!! I have Sport Contact 5s on my AMG as OEM fitment and would not use anything else on it. I have previously had them on the Zed too and they were equally as good there too.

 

I have always used Contis, Goodyears or Michelin Pilot Sport on my Zed; however this time I (reluctantly) tried a set of Avon ZZ5s on it - and was pleasantly surprised with the result! Grip and handling are pretty much as good as with the top three, in both dry and wet. Plus they have a ring if "Zs" around the outer edge, which swung it for me. :lol: Not to mention they cost a lot less than the Contis did.

 

I would never advocate skimping on tyres - and would otherwise have written off the Avons after a bad experience of the old ZZ3. But I can wholeheartedly recommend the ZZ5 and will definitely buy them again for the Zed.
