In this comparison, we take a look at two summer tyres, the Avon ZV7 and the Vredestein Ultrac Satin. Manufactured by Avon and Vredestein respectively, these tyres have been thoroughy tested and reviewed with practical implications in mind.
The Avon ZV7, designed with an improved tread pattern and a new high performance compound, received an overall rating of 24% in our tests. In Autobild's test comprising of 52 tyres, it secured a position at number 17, thereby placing itself in the upper middle segment of the field. It did considerably better in AutoZeitung's test, where it ranked 8th out of 10 tyres tested. An important thing to note about the Avon ZV7 is that it has not been replaced by a newer tyre model.
Strengths of Avon ZV7: Good lateral stability, shorter braking distances and superior resistance to aquaplaning, thanks to its large circumferential and lateral grooves.
Weaknesses of Avon ZV7: Slightly higher noise levels and somewhat less efficient fuel consumption compared to some competitors.
On the other hand, the Vredestein Ultrac Satin is another brilliant summer tyre that is made in Hungary. Its overall performance in our test wasn’t as impressive as we couldn’t provide it a rating. However, in Autobild's test, it managed to beat the Avon ZV7 by securing the 12th position out of the 52 tyres tested. Surprisingly, it fared slightly worse than the Avon ZV7 in AutoZeitung's test, nabbing the 9th position out of 10. Like the Avon ZV7, the Vredestein Ultrac Satin too has not been replaced by a newer model.
Strengths of Vredestein Ultrac Satin: Exceptional traction and braking performance, especially on wet surfaces, thanks to its unique compound and optimized footprint.
Weaknesses of Vredestein Ultrac Satin: Underperforms in terms of noise reduction and leaves a little more to be desired when it comes to overall comfort.
Verdict: While both tyres have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, the Avon ZV7 seems to stand a cut above the Vredestein Ultrac Satin in terms of the overall test performance and ratings. However, the Vredestein Ultrac Satin might be a good bet for those who prioritize superior wet surface performance.
In conclusion, both the Avon ZV7 and the Vredestein Ultrac Satin offer good performance and are deserving of consideration when choosing a new set of summer tyres.
