Worst ResultPerformance Analysis
Across six winter-season tests, the Avon WV7 shows a consistent pattern of mid-pack overall performance with occasional poor results in smaller group tests. Its standout trait is relatively competitive wet braking in large-field Auto Bild market overviews, where it repeatedly lands in the upper half and sometimes near the top tier.
The clearest weakness is snow braking, where the WV7 repeatedly ranks near the bottom of the tested group, indicating limited snow traction/longitudinal grip relative to peers. This snow deficit likely contributes to the tire's generally unremarkable overall rankings (often around 23rd place in ~45-57 tire line-ups) and a last-place finish in the 2021 Auto Express winter test.
