Are the Avon Ranger Ice tires, (235 60 R18) suitable for ALL YEAR USE on my XC90?
June 14, 2016
You can legally use the Avon Ranger Ice tires year round, however we wouldn't recommend it. The dry braking penalty is around 20% over a good summer tire in warmer conditions, which is too much for us to be comfortable with!

Purchased for our Volvo XC90, after previous experience with Nokian, Vredestein and Continental winter tires. We've found the Avon Ranger Ice winter tires to be the best used so far. Rock solid in the snow, ice, rain and sleet, and very good in dry. They wear very well, and are currently looking at lasting 4-5 winters easily.

Additional bonus for UK based users, are that these tires are made in the UK. Confirmed with Avon directly, that they are produced in Melksham, Wilshire and are stamped on the tires ‘Made in England'.

Nice to see at least some quality products are still manufactured in the UK!

We fitted a full set of Avon Ranger Ice Tires onto a New Vauxhall Antara last winter and we amazed by their capability.

We get snow every year and can get drifts upto several feet in bad winters – The Ranger Ices gave amazing grip in snow upto a foot in depth, coped brilliantly on frozen slush covered road and when on cleared roads they performed perfectly in both dry and wet conditions.

For the first time in the last 10 years we went right through the winter without having to use snow chains – This was only down the capability of the Ranger Ice tires.

We are so impressed with them we are now buying another set to go on our new Mercedes ML W164.

Amazingly good, I'm flabergasted. Fitted to a SUV 4x4 in mid November. Have only driven 300 or so miles so cannot comment on wear rates. However in the Dry; Wet; Snow, Ice, Water, Grass and Mud they have been brilliant in every respect. At motorway speed they behave impecably, less noise, more comfortable, better feedback,handling, stability and so much less roll in corners than previous tires. The difference is staggering. Previous tires were Bridgestone D684 HT. I was a Bridgestone fan and have them fitted to another 4 wheel vehicle and one of my motorcycles. The AVON's are the best and biggest difference ever made to any vehicle of mine in 46 years driving. A better / bigger difference even than changing from Cross Ply to Radial tires in about 1972/3.
