Rubbish on my Citroen c3 air cross. They were original on the front but they were noisy. Rumble that could be felt though the steering wheel. So I put them on the back. Now when I drive in a spirited manner the rear starts letting go. Even in the dry. This makes dual carriageway roundabouts hairy to say the least. Don't bother is my opinion

I replaced my Dunlop SportMax RT and have to say that Zeetex are comparable. They are not as great as Dunlops but I had an emergency stop one day and I was surprised that ABS had no chance to work. My 2tons car stopped very quickly. I am very happy to have Zeetex for 50%of my previous Dunlops and they are similar in 80% I would say. I recommend them as the price to quality rate is very high. -Tom

Very silent, car feels les road imperfections compared to pirelli p7, but comfort comes at a price of handling, steering feedback. Feels like 1 inch smaller in diameter to be honest. Grip is there, tyres are safe, but not high performance. At this price they are unbeatable, but would consider them as touring tyres, not high performance ones. This is initial review, will update my thougts after a few more thousands miles

Had these fitted as I needed tyres in a hurry and on a tight budget.
They were cheap for a reason.
About 8 months fitted and they're worn out, down the the wear markers. My yearly average is 5000 miles, and that's steady old man motoring.

Back to Avon or Falken without a doubt.

Put these zeetex on my r52 cooper S . 215 40 r17 And firstly . They are so quiet compared to the P8s if just took off . I took them on a spirited dry B road run really gave it some round the lanes . No squealing just grip good feed back through the steering . Even lifted a rear wheel whilst cornering fast and only felt a little flex .totally happy .comfy quiet grippy i havent had them long enough to see how they wear . But I've done a bout 500 miles on them so far on all road types . Motorway . A road . B road . Urban . Speed humps potholes etc . No complaints . 👍👍👍👍👍
