Today, we are comparing two summer tyres: the Avon ZV7 and the Semperit Speed-Life 3. Both are popular choices in the market, manufactured by reputable brands Avon and Semperit respectively. Our detailed analyse and comparison is based on ADAC and Autobild test results to provide unbiased and thorough information.
The Avon ZV7 didn't score as highly as the Semperit tyre according to our rating, concluding with a 17% score. In the ADAC test, out of 50 tyres, Avon ZV7 secured the 42nd position and in the Autobild test it acquired the 25th position out of 53. As per the Autobild's summary, the Avon ZV7 is relatively fuel-effective but suffers from an unbalanced performance particularly on dry pavement. It is also criticized for its environmental impact, poor lifespan, and high wear and tear. Despite these drawbacks, no newer model is available that could address the shortcomings of Avon ZV7.
Moving on to the Semperit Speed-Life 3, it significantly outperforms its counterpart both in our rating at 47% and also in objective tests. In the ADAC test, it ranked 19th among 50 tyres and soared higher than Avon ZV7 in the Autobild test by achieving the 12th position. One of its strongest features was wet braking, highlighting its efficiency for rainy conditions. Autobild's text summary applauds its performance on wet surfaces, its efficiency, and its decent lifespan. Although there were some negatives, such as not being fully balanced and weaknesses on dry roadway, it didn't take much away from the overall positive feedback of the tyre. The Speed-Life 3 replaced the older model - Semperit Speed-Life.
In summary, although both the Avon ZV7 and Semperit Speed-life 3 are suitable summer tyres, the Semperit Speed-Life 3 outperforms in the tests overall. It excels in areas where the Avon ZV7 falls short, such as lifespan, wet surface performance, and efficiency. Despite some cons, it offers a more balanced and environmentally friendly solution for a summer tyre and thus, would likely provide a better driving experience.
