Hi All,

First post  :laugh: Has anyone considered Avon ZZR's / ZZ3's. ZZR's apparently super sticky dry use only advised.

I don't work for Avon and I'm more than happy with my current Conti's

or in the version I read on the train this morning  :wink:

1st : Goodyear Eagle F1
2nd : Michelin Pilot Sport
3rd : Continental Contisport Contact 3
4th : Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A
5th : Pirelli PZero Rosso

another (albeit slim) victory for the F1 hurray  :laugh:
Mich Pilot Sport got the nod if absolute dry grip is your bag.
and of course we all know it doesnt rain in the UK  :grin:

watch F1 sales soar.....

Enjoy

My old GTi had Sport Maxx crappy and I can vouch for the complete lack of grip. The ED30 has Michelin Sports which seem to be better with less understeer and less road noise so it's Michelin for me. I don't care if they blow up on F1 cars.
