Avon ZV5 XL 225/55WR17 W 101W tyres with Price Promise Guarantee!

Anyone got any experience of these? Avon ZV5 XL

Seem good on fuel rating and grip but at a decent price.

Thanks

David

Depends what you want them for, they're a road based tyre and not M&S rated, so the car will be no better than a FWD hatchback in winter

OK Thanks for the info. That is a major difference with the winter tyres on. Quite eye-opening.

M&S it must be then.

I have fitted some 225/65R17's to my Freelander. They have lifted the vehicle by about an inch. They would not fit without the 40mm lift kit or the 30mm spacers.
