AVON ZV5 TYRES???

[Paul.P]

The best tyre I ever had for the M100 was the Goodyear Eagle F1 (quite a few of us drove with them and found them excellent for both wear and wet/dry grip) It's a great pity but they're now long out of production.

Rambo, i presume you mean the 15" are out of production, cause i'm pretty sure you can still get the 16" ?. These are what i have at the minute, & they do give excellent grip wet & dry, although i found they give a harsher ride than the Michelin Pilots, who also gave great wet/dry performance, but were more expensive.

Paul - I'm fairly sure they're not available in 15" as I tried hard to get them the last couple of times I needed 2 tyres. I ended up with Yokohama's and Michelin Pilot Exalto's and am happy with both - the Yoko's are on the front and the Exalto's on the rear but I'm always happier if I'm running on a set of 4 with the same rubber compound. Somehow I never need 4 at the same time.

National seem to be doing a BOGOF fitted on Avon ZV5 tyres, the reviews seem to suggest its good for daily driver type cars (advertised around £120/tyre therefore around £150 both fitted on my Omega 225/55/16) but not the best for a Lotus. However, watch out for the wheel balancing, tyre disposal etc. extra costs and get a full cost before accepting.

Going to call in tomorrow and confirm if they can fit and the cost.
