Tyre specs

Dry performance

The tyre's ability to grip the road in dry conditions.

Wet performance

The tyre's ability to grip the road in wet conditions.

Tread wear

The wear rate of the tyre.

Quiet ride

The measure of how quiet a tyre is while driving.

Handling

How the tyre is able to respond to driving such as accelerating, braking, steering and turning.

Off road

The tyre's ability to have grip on unpaved surfaces such as dirt, mud, sand, rock or gravel.

*When compared to other Avon tyres

AVON AV12

Silica rich tyre compound
Improved wet braking by 5%* when compared to the Avon AV11 – attaining an EU grade B label for wet grip.
Enhanced durability
Addition of two sidewall protection rings and a 6mm wider kerbing rib equipped with recessed lettering; inspired by Avon's experience in rallying.
Fuel efficient
Due to the new silica-carbon compound, rolling resistance is reduced by 10%* when compared to the Avon AV11.

*According to internal testing performed in the UK in 2018 against the Avon AV11. Vehicle used: Volkswagen Transporter T5 2.0 TDI.

More Information

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/	Rolling Resistance Rolling Resistance 5 classes from E (least efficient) to A (most efficient) Effect may vary among vehicles and driving conditions, but the difference between a E and an A class for a complete set of tyres could reduce fuel consumption by up to 7.5 %* and even more in case of trucks. Fuel savings and road safety depend heavily on the behavior of drivers and eco‐driving can significantly reduce fuel consumption.	Wet grip Wet Grip 5 classes from E (longest braking distances) to A (shortest braking distances) Effect may vary among vehicles and driving conditions, but in the case of full braking, the difference between a E and an A class for a set of four identical tyres could be up to 30% shorter braking distance (e.g. for a typical passenger car driving at 80 km/h speed this could be up to 18m shorter braking distance)*. Stopping distances must always be respected.”	Noise level Noise Level In addition to the noise value in Decibel dB(A) a letter (from A to C) displays whether the tyre external rolling noise performance is above the United Nation Reg 117 mandatory limit value (Class C = noisier tyre), the tyre noise is higher than the UN limit (Class B = average tyre) or more than 3 dB below the limit value (Class A = low noise tyre). NB: The tyre external rolling noise is not entirely correlated to vehicle interior noise.

Tyre care

EU Label information

The EU tyre label is intended to give consumers more information when choosing new tyres.

Tyre pressures

Tyre pressures must be checked at least monthly in order to get the most out of your tyres.

GENERAL Tyre CARE

“Look after your tyres and they'll look after you.”

Tyre Tread

If your tyre tread wears down to their level on any part of the tread, it's definitely time for new tyres.
