205/40 17 Tyre Review Highlights
Vredestein Quatrac Pro rated 61% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST200
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 spirited miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 spirited miles
Below is my initial review, but after 9,000 miles, my opinion has changed significantly.
Initially, these tyres felt like a great all-season alternative for mild climates, offering strong dry and wet grip with progressive handling—almost like summer tyres but with a winter safety net. Comfort, noise, and rolling resistance were acceptable. However, things have taken a drastic turn.
Grip has fallen off a cliff—dry performance is now just average, while wet grip has become outright poor. The Fiesta ST is known for its playful chassis and easy to obtain liftoff oversteer. However now this tyres go straight into understeer followed by massive oversteer and either the ESC or the driver fighting to keep the car in a composed line, while all this is happening at 25mph. In winter conditions, they remain marginally better than a summer tyre, enough to get you out of trouble on flat terrain most likely purely down to its tread pattern, but nothing more. Surprise? In hindsight, not really. Despite minimal visible wear, they have a tread wear rating of 420, which likely explains this disappointing drop-off. They just hardened and it feels that they were all grip to start with, now purely focusing on tread longevity. For an all-season tyre, this level of change over three years is frustrating. Never experienced anything like this with any of my other all-season winter options in my other cars (Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli).
I'll need to replace them soon, even though they still look fresh. As I don't need to drive this car frequently anymore during winter months, I'll be reverting to a single UHP summer setup (Pilot Sport 5).
Downgrading my rating and recommendation accordingly.

Kumho V70a rated 76% while driving a Fiat 500 Abarth

Fitted a set of soft compound v70a's and they have performed really well during motorkhana events. Plenty of grip and stiff side walls for stability. Haven't tried them on track in the wet but have been using them as a daily and have had no issues on rainy days. My only concern would be how quick they wear but that is to be expected for soft compounds. Also cheaper than most of it's contenders.
Nexen N Fera SU1 rated 47% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST180

Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
When I bought my Fiesta ST180, it had a full set of these Nexens on the car. When I checked it over at the dealer, and being a mechanic, im not scared to look under the car. Upon doing so, I saw the inside front tyre had side wall splits. These where easily 2-4 inches in length. (Bare this in mind)
I bought the car, but told the dealer about the tyre. I asked for a MOT as well, and Ill buy the car no quibbles.
Ive had the car 5 years. And only used these tyres to keep it all matching at the same. The grip levels dry and wet are fair. How ever during the colder months the car likes to wheel spin in certain inclines, pulling away. And feels very pushy.
Ive even took these tyres on a track day. I was surprised with the fair performance again, They like to edge wear a fair bit I find.
Now to my MAJOR gripe with this tyre. In the 5 years ive owned this car. Ive put NINE tyres on it. I think two tyres where replaced due to wear. The rest where due to the sidewalls splitting on the inside. Upon googling, you will find lots of other people suffering from the same. Ive not driven the tyres flat. They just seem to suffer from British roads a little too badly I find. I do try to avoid pot holes and ruts as best as possible. But it seems the build quality of these tyres are just so poor, you could probably sneeze on them and the tyre would split.
Ive seen worse MOT'ing cars. But Ive got a tyre thats 6 months old, with 1-2 inch splits in the side wall on the inside.
Id personally avoid this brand. Im looking into other tyres within my budget, and now just going to replace all 4, and hopefully not need to change tyres again after 6 months.

Triangle SporteX TH201 rated 80% while driving a Suzuki swift sport

Epic performance for cheap tyres! Previous to this , used to shell out hundreds of dollars for bridgestone re001, re002 and re003 over the years.. what a waste of money!. Look forward to taking the car on country roads and mountain passes. So much more comfortable than the bridgestone adrenalin range as well. only catch is degraded grip in wet compared to dry at higher speeds, but its not horrible , and the not the most durable of tyres, which is fine with me since they are so cheap to replace.
I also have these tyres installed on a 2007 subaru legacy gt... same experience, but less skittish in the wet due to awd.

Fitted these Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 6 tyres to my Abarth 595 competizione before a trip to the Nurburgring after seeing some positive reviews and WOW what a tyre, got me there and back and performed excellently on track then spent the last 6000 miles with mostly spirited driving and these just grip brilliantly wet or dry, They are a little noisy but thats a tiny downside when you consider the performance you get from them.
Avon ZV7 rated 53% while driving a Ford Fiesta ST180

Centres worn down to 3mm outer edges still on 5-6mm. Car had tracking done when the tyres where fitted, suspension all good and tyre pressures definitely not over inflated. Handling is ok, wet grip good enough for what is classed as a mid range tyre but surprised me a few times when i expected to have grip and didnt! Will not buy again.

Mine is a wierd size tire, fits the Mazdaspeed miata and who knows if anything else. I went through 3 sets of original spec Toyo tires in 39k miles before I found these. Treadwear is supposed to be MUCH better, traction is great (seems just as good), comfort and noise is better than the stock tires--I wish I had found these sooner!

Only had these for about 20,000km - but still 5mm tread left.
Very reliable in wet and dry, decent feedback and comfortable as well as decent MPG return - I would definitely buy these again.

I've been using Avon tyres for upwards of 7 years on my Ford Fiesta, where the past 18 months I moved to the ZV7s as the previous model was no longer available.
The tyres are more than capable in the dry/wet and i have always felt confident driving in any conditions, however i have never tested the maximum capabilities of the tyres, so i can't comment for those scenarios. However day-to-day driving, the tyres are excellent.
Despite saying this, i would not recommend these tyres. 2 out of my 3 Avon tyres (I had the O/S front replaced during an insurance job and they installed a Continental instead), can be seen to have noticeably worn more in the centre of the tyres than around the edges, especially the with the N/S front. This was highlighted to be today during my MOT, where the centre of the tyres are close to the limit, yet the edges have 5+mm left.
The MOT tester said that this can be caused by overpressuring, however i have always regularly checked my tyres, and i have never had this issue during my 8 odd years of motoring. Looking online i can see that others have experienced the same issue with these new Avon tyres, and so i can only put it down to the tyres.
I am fuming to replacing the tyre after less than 18 months, for which it has covered less than 15,000 miles, especially as the previous model of Avon tyres i never encountered an issue.
I'm now replacing the tyre with a continental to match the other tyre which is less than 2 months old, but it is safe to say i won't be returning back to Avon.

Had several of these tyres the main issue is the compound of the rubber seems degrade very quickly after a year or two they start to crack both in the tread and the sidewall, when taking them back to the fitting centre, usual excuses, temperature fluctuations or low inflation issues .
After two sets of these tyres I think I can rule out this and put it down to very poor manufacturers,
Never ever buy this brand you will regret it.
Tread wear is very good , price budget, but very poor value overall.

I bought them because I need one set of track tyres and one set for normal driving on roads. I didn't want third set of wheels as a winter set of tyres.
I am sad. I should buy Bridgestone All Season 6 instead of this tyres. I bought it because of the very good price but I am not satisfied with grip in various conditions. Wear is very good. They look like not used. Next time I will definitely go for more premium brands.
