Gretie22 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Right got a mate who works on a tyre place, he can get me avon zz3's for £100 each or bridgestones for £125 each. I've read reviews on both and the Avons have a better review, anyone got any experience of them? Thanks.

mattdavies Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I stand by my Bridgestones as they dont let go @ BPU in the dry and are very good in the wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I had RE050's on my 350Z. gripped very well, only thing I would say is that they are noisy on the road. My boss also had them on his A5. Seemed good on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) What size tyres are you looking at and be aware of the different ratings A 245 45 18 size for example has 3 different types of RE050A's with varying fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise ratings 96w DZ TL -- Fuel EFF F Wet GRIP C 96w EZ TL -- Fuel EFF F Wet GRIP B 96w TL -- Fuel EFF E Wet GRIP E The zz3's have only 1 type with Fuel EFF F and Wet GRIP B If you look on http://www.camskill.co.uk you will get all this info Edited July 19, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mine are 265 35 18. Oh that's a bit complicated, I'd have to ask him for more details on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossco Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mine are 265 35 18. Oh that's a bit complicated, I'd have to ask him for more details on them. For tyres that size I'd sack of the RE050's and go for S02's. They are a much better tyre. The RE050's are ok, bit I found you would get 8 months or so of excellent grip then nothing at all, almost overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 zz3 s are v. good, had them on my rx7 and supra. Need to warm them up though to get best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 And :friday:Happy Birthday Thanks I rarely go out in the wet anyway and I've always got my little boy in the car, so rarely get to have any fun, so either of these two would be good enough for what I need.

sideexitsupra Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Haven't the ZZ3 been replaced by ZZ5? I put some ZZ5 on the back of the merc estate before it moved to pastures new and they were very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You can still get the zz3's, had them on the front of my supra and thought they were pretty good for the money, easily as good as Falken 452's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
