Avon OE for Morgan Aeromax

The eye catching new Morgan Aeromax has become the latest in a long line of British sports cars to use Avon tyres as OE tyre supplier. Avon will supply its ZZ3 for the British manufacturer’s brand new 362bhp, 170mph machine, which has a 0-62mph speed of just 4.5 seconds. The Aeromax will be Morgan’s flagship model as the marque heads into its 100th anniversary year in 2009.

The Avon ZZ3 is said to have been selected because of its excellent road holding in both wet and dry conditions, and as its predictable high-performance handling characteristics suit the powerful car perfectly. The Aeromax will use Avon’s 225/35 R19 XL 88Y XL ZZ3 at the front and 245/35R19 XL 93Y ZZ3 on the rear.

Morgan also chose the Avon ZZ3 as an OE fitment for the revamped Aero 8 sports car in 2006, along with Connaught for its Type-D GT Syracuse.
