In this review, we'll compare two summer tyres - the Avon ZV7 and the Barum Bravuris 5 HM. In our analysis, we've rated the Avon ZV7 at 24% and the Barum Bravuris 5 HM at a significantly higher 39%. This evaluation takes into account several key features and factors, which include but are not limited to performance in various road and weather conditions, fuel efficiency, tyre lifespan and environmental impact.
Starting with the Avon ZV7, this model comes with numerous shortcomings which have pulled down its rating. According to the Autobild 2022 test, the tyre is relatively frugal but is otherwise unbalanced, especially on dry surfaces. The model also raised environmental concerns due to its poor eco-friendliness. In practical terms, owners of this tyre may have to expect increased wear and tear, as it is marked by excessive abrasion and generally low mileage. Moreover, sustainability is another significant issue.
For context, the Avon ZV7 ranked 42 out of 50 in the ADAC test, and 25 out of 53 in the Autobild test, indicating that it did not outperform its competitors in either assessment.
On the other hand, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM is from Barum, a manufacturer known for its quality products. Although specific strengths and weaknesses were not detailed in the existing test data, this tyre significantly outperformed the Avon ZV7 in our rating and in the ADCA test, where it achieved rank 24 out of 50. Nevertheless, it did fall a few places behind in the Autobild test, ending up at position 29 out of 53.
To conclude, despite both being summer tyres, the Barum Bravuris 5 HM generally outperforms the Avon ZV7 according to our rating and mutual test positions. However, it's crucial for potential buyers to reflect upon their specific needs and the conditions they'll be dealing with while on the road. The ultimate decision should therefore consider these test results and this comparison, but also personal circumstances and requirements.
