  1. Hi I have had ZZS for a couple of months and have now done around 750 miles on them. The ZZRs have done possibly 250miles. Over the last year I did around 6k on CR500. The ZZS seem to have similar grip levels to the CR500, but seem stiffer generally, on bends with uneven surfaces the back has become alarmingly unsettled at times, roads where the CR500 had no such problem. The ZZR has better overall grip at speed than both with much more pointed turn in. The compliance I missed on the ZZS compared to the CR500 also seems improved with ZZR. Thats all three at 17/18psi cold, road use only. Cheers
  2. Still required, can meet at Dunsfold! Thanks
  3. Phew, thanks. This is the first time I have driven on such "slick" tyres; the improvement was so huge over the ZZS I was worried I had something super sticky that might only last a few hundred miles!
  4. Hi Regretfully, I don't. Does the load index give the game away? 83W and 88W. I have looked on Avons website but can't find an answer. Cheers, J
  5. Hi Mark Thanks, found it. Just didnt know what I was looking for ... but neither of mine have M after the codes. Do you think that is significant? Do you think mine might not be medium compound? BTW, these tyres are amazing compared to ZZS and even CR500's. Does anyone use these as their normal road tyre and just take it really easily if it rains? The payback in the dry is astonishing! J
  6. Hi DJ Thats alarming, sorry to hear of your woe! Julian
  7. Hi I have just fitted my ZZRs. Trying to check exactly what I have got. What are the correct codes on the tyres that reveal the compound? Fronts are 185/55R13 83W, rears are 215/55R13 88W and have loads of numbers/codes on them but nothing remotely like 15156M and 15157M? Thanks, Julian
  8. We exchanged around 4.30pm. I was in the blue Seven going the other way! Hope you were enjoying your drive. Motorbikes everywhere today!
  9. White xxxxRYU Uckfield High Street just now 4pm blimey, Sevens everywhere!
  10. Just spotted Orange xx51CAT in Uckfield High Street just now, 2.30 Saturday afternoon
  11. If you want to keep the original ECU, have a word with Z&F. Z&F did mine and I'm very pleased. I am booked in for the K13 kit and verniers (with my Supersport cams) with Dave later in the year after which, I will get another remap.
  12. Hi Excellent IMO, well worth the money, bit more grunt through the rev range makes it more driveable, revs higher, nice pops and bangs on lift off. All on my 140 X-Power EU3. Your alarm fob will not work on a new ECU but will be fine if you re-map your existing one. I am booked in at DVA for a head, cams and verniers later in the year, after which Mark at Z&F has suggested he can further tickle the ECU to suit. Cheers, Julian
  13. Followed you down the A22 to Maresfield in the black 1 series! Super day for it, I was envious! Cheers, Julian
  14. Hi Both my ZZR and ZZS are E marked, yes. Cheers, Julian
  15. Hi AdC Strange, my brand new 2015 ZZR 215 13's weigh 8.6kg and the 185's weigh 7.35kg. Cheers, Julian
  16. Hi I am not going to be much help because I have only done around 200 miles on a set of 13" ZZS but I can say I already prefer them to CR500 [dated 2012, so not an old knackered set]. I have not played around with pressures yet, just set them at 18psi as per previous, also not run them in the wet. What I can say is that they hold on a lot more in the corners in the dry straight from the off. Plenty of feel, nice and compliant, look really cool too , certainly feels more pointy at the front end. ZZR must feel better still than the CR500? No experince with any other tyres, have you looked at the Toyos? ZZS and ZZR would mean perfect setup for both types though. Cheers, Julian
  17. Saturday 28/3 going North, closely followed by a red Elise and possibly an MX5 too. We waved from a black 1 series just as you overtook us when we were pulling off.. *waves* hope you had fun ... J
