Yep they do, IIRC the UK lads rate them pretty highly.

well folks, got the Avon's ZZ3's, seem like a good tyre, got the bushes fitted and the lot re-aligned and the difference is really noticeable. the car really feels a lot more steady on the road, the rear wheels were way out, almost crab tailing was what they called it.
The machine they use is some piece of work, even shows which part of the suspension needs to be changed.

haven't got much of an opinion on the tyres yet, they'll need some time i suppose to realise their full potential!

Dave,

you'll need to get a little wear on the tyre before you'll get to optimum grip - hence one of the reasons you should never use new tyres on a track day.

Good to see it worked out well - now for a bit of power to put those tyres to work - eh :twisted:
