Avon Xtreme 3D Ultra 180/55ZR17
£175.00
DESCRIPTION
The best dry weather tyre for UK club racing, across all classes using 17" tyres.
Whilst a hugely under-rated tyre, the Avon Xtreme is perfect for Club Racing in the UK. It's more heavily cut than some of its better known competitors, increasing the speed the tyre warms up, and making it work better at the lower ambient temperatures experienced in the UK. Especially beneficial when racing in clubs where tyre warmers are not allowed.
Great for Post Classic Superbikes & Superstock machines, and also modern racing machines. We have used this tyre in Minitwin, F400 and 600cc racing to huge success.
This rear tyre was available in 3 compounds.
AC1: Soft compound. Excellent through most of the year whether using warmers or not. Ideal for lower ambient temperatures and can be ready to push after one lap, but still holds together really well in high temperatures and over long races. Specially made for us by Avon before Melksham was closed (you won't get this tyre anywhere else!), we think that this is the best 180/55 tyre bar non for short sprint races in the UK without warmers!
AC2: Soft Medium compound. Excellent all year round if using tyre warmers. If not using warmers, the AC2 is good in higher temperature conditions and on high power output/torque machines. Ready to push all out after 1 lap of warming in temperatures above 15 degrees C. No longer available
AC3: Medium Compound, slightly higher operating temperature. Suitable only in higher ambient temperatures and when using tyre warmers. We would not recommend this compount if being used without warmers. No longer available.
