Corrado Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I've always stuck with the original fit Potenzas RE040's, and been happy with them on road & track (but I do back off in the wet!). However, I saw these Avon ZZ5's newly fitted to the rear of a Z on the forecourt of my local Nissan Main Dealer; Potenzas RE050's on the front. No experience of this AVON tyre, but with a 'Z' on every tread block round the side wall (see attached pic) it has to be the most stylish budget alternative to Bridgestone for a Z-car.... ....not that you should buy tyres on style!! Anyone tried them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shel Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Oooh I want little zeds on my tyres now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmillions Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Had ZZ3's on my r26 before,wouldn't buy them again, soft and not great grip even in the dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Did you really buy a tyre because it had a Z on it? Who's your favourite band? ZZ Top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I had ZZ3's on my previous zed, and found them to be dar better than the RE040's. More communicative than then dead slab of rubber that were the bridgestones. Never noticed all the zeds though, thats cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrado Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just made me laugh that the guy in the Nissan parts department clearly had a sense of humour when he speced these for the car during pre-sale prep!! I've still got another full set of Potenzas waiting to go on, so have a long, wet, slow, winter ahead ....but you can't blame a summer tyre for that!

I very much doubt he chose the tyres because they had a Zed on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
