I used them on my Audi for a while and they were ok. I far prefer the Continental Sport Contact 2's that I now use on it though

 

........crashed my first saff on them...............

 

i've had a few sets of them in the past, found them to be very soft, don't last long!!!

 

Does anything last long on a 2wd saff

Missus has them on her Astra gsi turbo, Seem ok to me....alittle hard if im critical

 

if your talking about yokohama parada's they do do them in 215/40/17. was thinking about them myself but could'nt find many reviews of them.

I used to have avon zz3's on my bmw which has been to the ring a few times and i thought they were pretty good but i don't really have anyhing else to compare them to.

 

I have ZZ3s on my Mondeo. They're good tyres, nothing amazing, but very capable. They don't last that long though.

 

Providing you don't drive like a cunt, yes!!

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 or the new ssymetrics (spl)

Had ZZ3s on a previous saff and it was very tail happy

 

had them on the estate for a while, well 4 months before they became unpredictable due to wear.

 

Just found parada's in my size,mate has them on his focus rs,and thinks there amazing

I have them on the back of the saph stu,bell tosh for good prices.

 

i ont rate avons whatsoever, awful tyres IMO

not that sticky, and dont last very long. not worth the money.

eagle F1's FTW!!

 

I have them all round and can't say I've noticed them wearing out too quick nor have crappy grip. Then again, I don't drive like a cunt either!

 

the sidewalls seems to soft for me. hard alot of squirm with them

Had them on a Audi A6 Quattro and didn't rate them.

Swapped them for Goodyear F1's and found them alot better.

 

I hate the ZZ3's i have one on my spare alloy and had to use it at Donington last xmas on the front left. Every time i turned right the car understeered like never before, was fine when turning left on the Eagle F1 though.

MikeR, Hitchwest, and Trev can all tell you how bad it was.

 

I can and it was shocking, Pradas are better than ZZ3's for sure

 

Not being funny mate, but if its on the car in your sig, then you don't have a RWD car with over 300bhp; unfortuently it is a whole different ball game

Tyres that can be great FWD, can be shit RWD and vica-versa

 

they are shite, i have them all round at the mo and cant wait to change them, 3rd gear in the wet, even when driving in a straight line it will light up all 4 wheels. Dangerous imo

 

Lol yeah I would've guessed that you lot meant as performance tyre. I am not pushing even half of what most people on here have neither do I corner like my arse is on fire so in that respect it's a good tyre for me

But for 300bhp and a very spool happy turbo, I would imagine things are different.

 

true, for a regular car, i would imagine they would be fine, but i do find that they do push on a bit in the wet, even at moderate speeds

 

Agree 100%
Had them on a Pulsar last summer and did exactly as you describe.

 

I've got them on my 4x4 Saph and really like them. The compound is soft and they do wear quite quickly but that's fine as it's my weekend car.

I had them on my Focus daily driver before but changed them for some Conti's as they wore out too quick.

Perfect mid-ranged tyre for a cossie IMO

 

Also have them on my 4x4 and no problems whatsoever,good tyre for that price

 

I have Uniroyal Rainsports, awsome tyre, excellent grip in the dry and even better wet as you'd expect, got 3000 miles out of a set on rear and I do drive hard.
Eagle F1, I have on a astra, frankly I wouldn't put them on a wheelbarrow, odd as the Goodyear eagle VENTURA was ace(discontinued).
Bring back A008 yoki I say!!
tabetha

 

6 months my avons lasted ,bald as duncan goodhew wouldnt buy again as the cars not driven hard.

 

Are they worth getting on a 'normal' car then, as I'm thinking of getting some for my Leon
