Default Avon ZZ3 tyres-anyone tried them?

Elite tyres in Rainham are doing a good deal on these , just wondered what they're like compared to Toyo T1S which I normally buy?
I may use them for a bit of sprinting would they be up to it?
Cheers John

I always had Toyo's on mine until I had a punture after hitting a pothole, had ZZ3's fitted by National Tyres as I had no choice due to location, anyway some 13K miles with them and must admit grip and wear very well and wouldn't hessitate to fit them on again. They do take a bit of scrubbing in but after that no problems

P.S what kind of deal are you getting?

Mostly motorway miles should be good for 20k then replace all 4

I'm on my second set of ZZ3's - excellent tyre for the price and my last set lasted around 25k and still had life left in them when I got a new set.

I'm fairly sure National Tyres are doing two for £160 just now instead of quoted £110 each, worth a haggle in Ratcliffe Terrace Edinburgh.
