Product Information
Full details
The Avon AV12 is designed for commercial vehicle operators who prioritize safety, durability, and cost-efficiency. It is an ideal choice for businesses managing delivery vans or transport fleets that face frequent road use. While this tyre excels in longevity and handling under load, users should note that as a commercial-grade tyre, it is optimized for high-mileage utility rather than high-performance sports handling.

FAQs
What does the 116/114R rating mean?
The 116/114 indicates the load capacity (1250kg/1180kg respectively), and 'R' represents a maximum speed rating of 106 mph (170 km/h).
Is the Avon AV12 suitable for winter driving?
The AV12 is designed for general commercial use. While it provides reliable handling, it is not a dedicated winter tyre; exercise caution in severe snow or icy conditions.
How often should I check my tyre pressure?
Commercial tyres should be checked at least once every two weeks or before any long-distance trip to maintain efficiency and safety.
Can I fit these on a standard passenger van?
If your van is registered as a commercial vehicle and requires C-rated tyres, the AV12 is suitable. Always check your vehicle registration document or the placard inside the driver's door.
How do I know when it is time to replace the AV12?
Replace your tyres when the tread depth reaches the legal minimum limit or if you observe visible cracks, bulges, or embedded objects that cannot be repaired.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tread wear
Check wheel alignment and suspension components; ensure tyre pressure is set to the manufacturer's recommended PSI.
Increased road noise
Inspect for trapped debris or stones in the tread; check for signs of cupping which may indicate a need for wheel balancing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety and longevity, always verify that the load index of 116/114 and the R speed rating match your vehicle’s manufacturer specifications. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper bead seating and valve placement. To care for your tyres, maintain the correct inflation pressure as specified in your vehicle handbook, as under-inflation is the leading cause of premature failure in commercial tyres. Rotate your tyres every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even wear patterns, and inspect for cuts or debris lodged in the tread during routine fleet maintenance.
