Avon Ranger HHT

Hi everyone,

New member here.

I am currently looking for new tyres and have come across Avon Ranger HHTs at £89 each fitted - is this too good to be true? Does anyone have any experience with them? Reviews seem to be few and far between.

Cheers

Hi there, don't know about Ranger HHT but i've just had fitted Avon Ranger 65's fitted at £81.89 per tyre at National Tyres through Tyre Shopper.co.uk and i'm really pleased with them so far.

I don't know the HHT, but like a number of others here I run Ranger Ice winter tyres and they are proving to be very good indeed. Avon are a British company, albeit now owned by Cooper, and do seem to offer quality products at reasonable prices.

I have had a set of these on since I bought the car 18 months ago. They looked fairly new and I have had no problems other than a puncture repair. They were fine in the mud of the LRO off road course and good on road. I would buy again except that I would like some Grabber ATs

I have had these tyres fitted now with the same company - it was a difficult price to ignore. I'll update too after a few more miles but they seem fine so far!

I agree all things considered I think the price is excellent.

Tyres fitted this morning put some miles on them car seems to drive so much better tyres seem nice and quiet got a good deal here I think,I thought Avon were budget tyres but heard the fitter on phone to someone saying they most definitely are a premium brand. Well happy whatever they are and it's a nice feeling knowing the weather is getting worse but at least what's between me and the road is loads better than it was.

I'm looking at the same tyres for mine. Avon has always had a good name and I would say they are definitely not budget.

Locally (Blackpool area), I've been quoted £100 from ATS and £105 from Event Mobile Tyres (235/60 X 1Cool.

Not desperate just yet so I may wait until I'm off work at Christmas. I'll keep an eye on the prices.

All the best,
