1st) there is the looks. These tyres looks amazing! You cannot get around that (Silver 2021 RAV4 Hybrid with white letters showing)
2nd) I was impressed with the road noise, or lack thereof. For an AT, these are very quiet.
3rd)tread life looks good. I am currently at 78000km on them and still have 4.5mm left all round. I did not baby them, but mostly do high way driving on tar.
4th) Who ever said in a review that I red when I got them ( there was very little to no reviews as they were brand new) that "they do not increase fuel consumption " was full of ......
Why do I say that? Because there is no reference point as to what the person used before. Did they run KO2's? Then of course there will be no increase in consumption. So my reference is the OEM Bridgestone Alanza HP. Compared the that, I lost 1-1.5km/l with the BF's. Its understandable. Its heavy and it is an AT. I am running 225/65R17 and my current average is 16-16.5km/l
My next set will be high way summer tires again, then I can easily be in the 17's.
5th) The wet grip is BAD. Like really bad! At robots in the rain, touch the throttle to hard and its spinning for days ( I have an 2x4 hybrid)
I once overtook a truck in the wet, and at 60km/l, my car started spinning its wheels. I know the stretch of road very well, so I can confirm that my Bridgestones never did that.
Will I buy again? Probably not. We have no snow, hot climate. Fuel consumption and wet grip is the downfall. We have super bad roads here, but I can cope with an HP tire.
For the looks yes,they rock, but sadly not again for me.

My tyres are 6 years old and have had an easy life. tread left 5mm-6.5mm. Car taken to Toyota dealer to service and mot. all 4 tyres were condemed for wall cracking and rubber lifting at a cost of £144+ each. I don't feel at all happy with the way these tyres have deteriated long before the tread has reached renewing dimentions, and as such I would guess that purhaps they were part of a faulty batch. I also note from other reviews that this is not an isolated case. But with no end result from Dunlop UK. Other tyres I have are older than these with no sign of the cracking as on the Dunlops. Why should I pay for a premium tyres when they do not last or perform like budget ones!! YOUR THOUGHTS WOULD BE USEFUL.

Just drove 3000km in a vacation on these. No complaints whatsoever. Car is silent, no grip problems on dry, wet, sand.
Caught a heavy rain on a motorway, had no feelings of mishandling due to the tyres.
Caught a surprise patch of water on the same motorway, the tyres didn't aquaplane.

I live in the Cascade Mountains on a steep road, loads of snow in the winter. Really an excellent tire but disagree with some of the other comments on road noise and standing water/puddle performance. This could well be differences in vehicles or models though. They are really excellent in all types of snow except near slush that is sticky, "Alabama Red Clay" type cold slush, but most tires I'm aware of cannot be designed to shed it from the treads when it's like that. It essentially turns into a bald-like tire at some point in that stuff. Standing water and puddles in heavy rain - there is an aquaplaning tendancy at or near freeway speeds that can get your attention. There is more road noise I believe than my previous tires, but not a whole lot, and I do have a bit stiffer suspention being the Sport model Rav4 with the 6 cylinder and that sometimes has more to do with the road noise than the tires do. Traction in all kinds of other snow (other than slush) and even ice is really supurb and I'm real confidant driving them. The tire wear is excellent too, and I drive 100 miles a day round trip from snow country to the flat lands to work. They handled fantastic when on the interstate going over the pass, with compact snow on the road when a car drifted in front of me and I had to swerve around him aggressively. The tires to my surprise stayed pretty much tracked to the road with some release, but regripped almost instantly. I would recommend them for sure. I'm tempted to try the new 2023 Michelin CrossClimate2 Tire however after reading a few reports on them. They're supposed to be better at not aquaplaning but debate if should be leaving a known performer.

Purchased these as a cheaper alternative to brands like Continental, Goodyear etc. Seemed ok to begin with and the tires have worn pretty well, BUT and this is a BIG BUT, upon inspection the tires are not completely deformed and no longer presenting a flat profile - I have literally never seen anything like it, upon seeing this I immediately replaced the two Kumho tires and I deemed these to be unsafe. No response from the seller, will see what happens but would definitely not buy this make again. The people I have spoken to who work with tires say this is a very common problem with this brand, so buyer beware.

Very good tyre in snow conditions, noisey, and bumpy, not great in wet.
Picked up a set of 2 Avon tyres to replace ageing Yokohama tyres after 18,000 miles of easy going town driving with 3mm left. General performance of Avon tyres has been fine (for budget tyres) . However, the tread wear by mileage has been the worst of any tyre I've ever purchased. Less than 3mm tread after just 8,000 miles. Even on the front of an SUV, that's about half what I normally get out of tyres. I'll need to run them down to barely legal just to try and get some economic value out of them, but I don't think I'll get more than 9,500 in total before I have to change them. Definitely won't be buying Avon again or recommending these to anyone, as the compound is clearly too soft for general use. I think anyone reviewing these tyres as "good" are in for an unpleasant shock further down the line. I'll be switching back to a better brand as soon as these tyres are done.

These tyres were fitted to a RAV4 and were already on the car when I bought it.
I have had all season Avon tyres on a Skoda Octavia Diesel and found them to be brilliant.
So I had high hopes for these - and they’re totally the wrong tyre for the vehicle. They’re designed for motorways and all tarmac. Rubbish on grass and gravel - forget about mud. If it snows, leave the car at home - they’re absolutely rubbish - to the point of being dangerous.
Day to day driving they’re as good as any other, and they’re hard wearing, and not overly loud - but that’s the best I can say about them.
I will not buy them again.

Nokian one's have been the best tires I have ever purchased.....just an all around top quality all season tire... really the cost is not even comparable to brands like Michelin and Conti's... I put the Nokian one's on our 2012 3.5 liter Rav 4.4wd and I have to say they are bullet proof tires. I live in the southwest.. I have taken them very quickly into isolated areas where I plink steel and target shoot...where the asphalt becomes dirt and rock...rougher trails and they really do not skip a beat on surfaces that would stress out tires that aren't reinforced with aramid like the nokian ones. I drove the one's through insane summer heat. I have driven them in heavy monsoon type desert rain and gone north into snow.....These are absolutely unbeatable tires for the cost.. If you are thinking about it don't even hesitate. These tires can not be beat especially at the cost. I recommend purchasing them online, finding the right size for your make, year and trim as most online retailers send them very quickly and you will find the best pricing online for 4. Don't get hosed in the tire shop. Take them to a local tire spot that will balance them, install and make sure you get a proper alignment as well.
Its so much easier and cheaper.. to show up with the new tires you want installed on your car ready to go.

The RAV4 Hybrid was originally fitted with Bridgestones H/L 422 Plus. These lasted 42,500 miles. As I am now driving off-road on a regular basis, often on a rocky surface, I was looking for a more aggressive tire. After 12,500 miles with the ContiCrossContact LX2 my experience is a positive one. I was expecting more noise, but actually they are more quiet than the Bridgestones. At higher speeds the car corners with more difficulty, but that is to be expected with the more aggressive tread and deeper sipes.
