Tyres for 2005 C5 Exclusive V6 3.0

Unread post by saxoboy358 »

I have recently bought a C5 Exclusive V6 3.0 and the tyres will need changing soon, the car came with four Michelin Primacy.
I was thinking of putting Avon ZV5 on the car, does anyone have any experiences of tyres suited or not to this particular model.
Thank you.

Not the same car or even the same size/profile but I had a pair of 195x15 ZV5s on the Xantia for a several years. Liked older Avons for their wet grip, but the ZV5s were harsh and noisy on the Xantia. The replacement Goodyear Ultragrips (winter tyres) were amazingly quiet, and phenomenal wet grip in the cold. Quite impressed with the Nexen Blue somethings (205s on fatter alloys) currently on the front - 'summer' is almost here.
2012 Subaru Forester - capable but no magic carpet
2011 Grand C4 Picasso VTR+ 1.6HDi - not missed!
1995 Xantia Estate SX 1.9TD in Vert Vega "The Green Lady" - sadly missed
1998 Xantia 2.1 VXD Estate in Mauritius Blue - R.I.P. (terminal tin-worm)
