Two new Winter Tyres from Avon
Avon has launched two new winter tyres WV7 and WT7.
The Avon WV7 will be available in 15 to 19 inch sizes and is H and V speed rated. This is a performance winter tyre with increased sipe density which improves traction in wet weather, snow, ice and slush. The WV7 features backward-facing centre groove to improve traction and forward-facing shoulder grooves and V- slots to enhance braking. The Avon WV7 is marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol 'Severe Snow Conditions'.
Avon WT7
The WT7 has been performance tested in Alpine winter conditions and is a premium winter tyre. This will be available in 13 to 16 inch sizes in a T speed rated. The WT7 also meets the 'severe snow' rating.
Avon has also introduced a new winter tyre for vans, the WM Van Tyre has been developed specially for medium-sized vans, due to its high silica content tread formulation it has been designed to provide excellent traction in all winter conditions.
"Despite the high temperatures we are experiencing now and winter seeming a long way off, it's important to ensure our latest winter tyres are available to distributors and customers in plenty of time before the harsh winter months are upon us," said Jeff Schumaker, Managing Director - Cooper Europe who has responsibilities for the Avon Tyre brand. "It's been an exciting year for Avon Tyres, in terms of product development and the resulting new tyre launches across both our summer and winter ranges. With the Avon ZV7 and ZX7 introduced to the product portfolio in April, and now with the WV7 and WT7 launching onto the market, we have an updated core product offering available to our customers."
