    Top 3 Avon WT7 Reviews

    Given 67% while driving a BMW 320d touring (205/55 R16 W) on mostly country roads for 15,000 spirited miles
    Snow tire not winter tire, they are all over the place on dry roads, but on the snow (REAR WHEEL DRIVE) they climbed up a totally covered forest road effortlessly. Any review stating these are bad tires with no feel etc etc, is right about feel but they are fantastic tires when used for what they are designed. The hundred of grooves and cuts in the tread pattern will never provide the grip of a summer tread.
    But to be able to remove water and slush on a motorway in rear wheel drive at 60-70+mph, or along snow covered highland roads, whilst keeping the car balanced and predictable on snow, is a tire that gets my money time and time again!

    Braking distance on snow is great too, even in a heavy car...

    I was too lazy to change them for summer so I’ve worn out the rears fully after 15000 miles, fronts are maybe 60% gone but still enough tread and grip for cold icy roads (tested)

    Given 69% while driving a Skoda Suberb MkII (205/55 R16 T) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
    Drove in winter in French Alps, heavy snow is not an issue, I was still going when Pirellis were stuck on a similar car. So far I'm not disappointed, price reflects quality, dry and wet grip is not great, but still better than most Chinese brands, snow and ice performance is great. Feedback is lousy if you compare to summer Michelins, but these are winter tires after all.

    Given 41% while driving a Skoda Suberb MkII (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
    7000 miles, mix of city and motorway. No feedback from the road, unpredictable performance. I had okon retreads that were 200% better than these. They are coming off as soon as warm weather arrives. Looses grip all of a sudden in corners.
