*When compared to other Avon tyres

AVON AV12

Safety first and long lifespan
Improved wet braking by 5%* due to a new silica rich tyre compound improving the wet label value to B. We deliver value for money. The life span of the Avon AV12 is similar to the proven Avon AV11, based on a durable carcass construction**.
Enhanced durability
Durability compared to the Avon AV11 is improved significantly by adding two sidewall protection rings and a 6mm wider kerbing rib equipped with recessed lettering. The extensive rally history of Avon helped in developing this sidewall protection technology.
Fuel efficient
Fuel consumption is partly determined by the rolling resistance level of tyres. Due to the new silica-carbon compound the Avon AV12 reduced rolling resistance by 10%*.

Tyre size The tire size is made up of: Tread Width / Aspect Ratio / Rim Diameter. For example 245/50R18	Width The tire width is a millimetre measurement for the width of the tire. For example 245 mm when reading a tire size of 245/50R18	Aspect ratio The aspect ratio is the percentage of the height of the sidewall compared to the tread width. For example 50% when reading a tire size of 245/50R18	Load The maximum load a tire can carry is defined as a ‘Load Index’. Please refer to https://www.avontyres.com/en-gb/tyre-care/car-tyre-care/tyre-pressures/	Speed rating The Speed Symbol is shown as a letter and indicates the maximum speed. Please refer to https://www.avontyres.com/en-gb/tyre-care/car-tyre-care/tyre-pressures/	Max speed The Speed Symbol is shown as a letter and indicates the maximum speed. Please refer to https://www.avontyres.com/en-gb/tyre-care/car-tyre-care/tyre-pressures/	Roll resistance Rolling Resistance is the main key factor in measuring the energy efficiency of a tire and has direct influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. A set of tires of the green class “A” compared to a “G” class can reduce fuel consumption by 7.5% of a passenger car; even more for trucks.	Wet grip Basis for wet grip is the absolute stopping distance when driving 80km per hour. Between each class, there are 3-6 metres difference in braking distance.	Noise level The driving by noise is quote as an absolute value in decibel and as a 3 classes sound wave symbol.
