Comparison testing between the Avon ZV7 and the Maxxis Premitra HP5, both summer tyres, have revealed detailed strengths and weaknesses of each model. This analysis should provide useful insights for those considering either tyre for their vehicle.
Starting with the Avon ZV7, this tyre has a decent rating of 48% in our tests. Although it doesn’t stand out in multiple tests, it should be noted that it has a commendable performance in terms of exterior noise reduction. Scoring a ranking of 9 in the ACE test, its quieter performance is appreciated in an urban driving scenario.
However, in terms of mutual test positions, the Avon ZV7 falls short. Positioned 17th in the Autobild test out of 52 tyres, it is outperformed by the Maxxis Premitra HP5 in this scenario. But, consumers looking for a quiet ride should still consider the Avon ZV7 as a viable option.
Moving on to the Maxxis Premitra HP5, its performance is significantly superior with a high rating of 78%. This tyre stands out with several excellent features in various test points. Notably, it ranks first in the ACE test, outperforming the Avon ZV7 and eight other tyres with features like aquaplaning (cross and longitudinal), dry braking and handling, including objective assessments.
In the Autobild test, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 is only marginally behind the Avon ZV7, ranking 18 out of 52. However, even on this front, it is the Maxxis tyre's superior ability to prevent aquaplaning – specifically cross aquaplaning - that stands out.
Despite its decent test results, at this time Avon ZV7 did not get replaced with a next model. On the other hand, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 also remains an active model in the manufacturer's lineup, and the brand has not launched any newer model to replace it yet.
Conclusion:
Overall, while both the Avon ZV7 and the Maxxis Premitra HP5 perform well in their rights, the Maxxis tyre's excellent overall performance and multiple top features make it stand out. It would be the better choice, especially for those prioritizing handling and safety over noise reduction. In the end, the choice should be guided by each driver's priorities and the type of roads they usually traverse.
