Avon zz5 tyres
Discussion
Has anyone used these Tyres on their monaro? I am currently using the zz3 and although I have been happy with them I have noticed that there is split along the sidewall on one of the rears probably due to age as they have been on a few years any help would be appreciated.

Can't comment about them on a 'Ro, but they're fine on the wife's nearly 2 ton XF V8.
Plenty of grip, good in the wet (better than the OEM Dunlops) and standing up well to wear and tear. Two years in, and 19k miles later, they're down to around 5mm all round. Not bad for 385hp and lots of torque.
They should be ideal for a lighter Monaro?

Thanks for that I will have a look at them as well,wear rate is not really an issue as the car only covers between 1-2k a year the ZZ3'S that are on have still got a fair bit of tread it's just one has three fairly long splits on the sidewall I did not realise it was so long ago but I found the invoice and they were fitted in 2011.
Hello shunter, hope Iom is still a lovely place to drive, I ran the zz3's on my standard monaro for two sets, loved them and perfect for the car and are a good price, the guy that purchased my monaro has had two sets of zz5's and he loves them too.
If your running a standard engine set up the ZZ's are perfect and I think they handle the car perfectly and to buy the expensive MPSS or similar is a waste of money, if your running a much higher bhp set up with FI or CAM or both then the mpss's come into their own and are a MUST!!! that is what I have experienced with the three different cars I have owned.

I found vredsteins a better tyre than the zz5 and mpss a reasonably pricedIf your running a standard engine set up the ZZ's are perfect and I think they handle the car perfectly and to buy the expensive MPSS or similar is a waste of money, if your running a much higher bhp set up with FI or CAM or both then the mpss's come into their own and are a MUST!!! that is what I have experienced with the three different cars I have owned.

Hi snowwolf everything is still the same thanks my monaro is standard and seemed to like the ZZ3'S so that's why I was asking about the ZZ5's I think I will give them a try I don't do a big annual mileage so wear rate is not an issue.If your running a standard engine set up the ZZ's are perfect and I think they handle the car perfectly and to buy the expensive MPSS or similar is a waste of money, if your running a much higher bhp set up with FI or CAM or both then the mpss's come into their own and are a MUST!!! that is what I have experienced with the three different cars I have owned.
