Across 44 reviews, the Avon ZX7 is most often described as a quiet, comfortable tire with strong dry and wet grip and reassuring handling, especially considering its mid-range pricing. Many drivers report a noticeable reduction in road noise versus OEM or premium alternatives and good stability/steering feel on tarmac. The most consistent drawback is faster-than-expected tread wear/short mileage, and several users also note weak performance in snow/slush or on low-grip surfaces beyond normal road use.

FITTED TO FRONT ON OUTLANDER. DRY GRIP GREAT, AND WET GRIP GREAT, NOT NOISY ... THEY HAVEN'T LASTED AS LONG AS I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BEING A TYRE A TYRE FOR SUV'S .LASTED ONLT 6,000 MILES ?
Had my CRV 8 months with the OEM Dunlop Grand Trek all seasons on. Just switched to these ZX7s and am super pleased, much better than expected. Much less vague and bouncy and wishy washy. Excellent stability, handling much improved, along with steering and feedback. 10 times more precise and accurate on turn in and mid corner, and bags more confidence as a result. Can aim for apexes and hit them every time, placing car exactly where I want. Makes driving the CRV actually fun now. Indeed feels like a car now rather than an SUV. The difference is really dramatic and above and beyond what I expected. Noise seems slightly better, and comfort too. Only used in dry weather so far so can't vouch for wet, though I expect by other reviews they will perform well.

Bought 4 of these tires for my Audi Q5 based on reviews and price. The tire itself has been unremarkable in any field and has done the job intended without fuss. My issue is I bought 4 in October 2016 and 2 of them have picked up punctures and had to be replaced in 3 months. I don't off road or drive in questionable areas regarding debris. So would say the tire is either very prone to punctures or I have been damn unlucky! Either way it has been an expensive buy and when renewing shall be looking at other brands. Shame as otherwise tire was fine...

After 36K on the original fit Bridgestone Dueler's I was looking for 2 front tires for a 2014 RAV4 2ltr diesel 4WD. First impressions of the Avon's are very good. A noticeable reduction in road noise which is very welcome. Steering weight which was always on the heavy side immediately felt lighter. Steering response is very good and as previous reviewer mentioned for the first few miles I was turning in too much. Very stable and grip in both wet and dry is very good. Tread is less "offroad" than the original tires and will have to wait and see how they do if we get any white stuff. Don't know if the wear rate will be as good as the original Bridgestone tires which were very long lasting at 36K (front, rears still approx 3mm) but in all other aspects these tires are a lot better than the Bridgestones. Would definitely recommend as these tires have made a real difference to the drive of the car. Bought through Blackcircles at under £200 for the pair fitted which saved £50-60 over the Bridgestones.
Have recently put a set of Avon ZX7 225 60 18 onto my 2012 Honda CRV after finding that my Michelin Latitudes had perished sidewall after 3 years of low mileage use. Not wanting to buy the michelins again for obvious reasons I stumbled upon these and found them to be a revelation, instantly finding road noise had reduced. Two days after purchasing them I found myself checking the tire pressures as the roads that I travel daily seemed smoother. I have also found that wet weather grip is very good. Early days to say about how quickly they wear. Based on them so far I would definitely purchase again, especially when you can pick them up for just over £100 a corner fitted. Did experience difficulty buying them from Halfords even though they list them, salesman didn't want to sell them to me for some reason. I think that he just wanted me to buy something more expensive, which I didn't, I just went elsewhere and got a price match.
Had these fitted a couple of months ago, good all round summer tires & very quite, down side very poor in light snow/slush has a tendency to slide very easily. If you want a tire that will cope with the occasional slush/snow wouldn't recommend.
Just completed the first 1000 miles on these tires. I'm very impressed with every aspect of these tires. These are quieter, more comfortable and provide a fantastic feel while driving, very smooth.
The feed back while steering is superb, incredibly precise and sharp to the point where I actually over steered for the first few miles until I got used to the fact that they were so precise with no roll or wallow round corners or roundabouts.
These have a slightly older fashioned pattern on the tread so if that's your kind of thing then your going to be disappointed as they don't have nice swirly patterns like some other tires, but if that's your criteria when buying a tire then your buying tires for the wrong reason, although they do have a nice touch of having the brand and model mounded into the tread.
VERY GOOD TYRES FOR MY ML.
GRIP IS WELL IN DRY ,NOISE LEVEL LOW,WET GRIP CONTROL IS VERY GOOD.VERY COMFORTABLE ON MY ML.
WILL BUY THE SAME AGAIN.
THANKS TO AVON TYRES.
