Four reviewers praise value, while three describe reassuring wet grip and one reports poor wet traction. Around one in five criticise steering behaviour, including wandering, pulling or a spongy response. Dry grip and handling attract both praise and complaints, so they are not consistent strengths. Some later reviews describe satisfactory tread life, but most comments were written when new or without a stated stage, limiting conclusions about wear and ageing.

I was offered these tires that I didn't know on my Audi SQ5 and I have already driven one season with them. I was surprised because what I had before were
d Pirelli Scorpion of the same size and they performed very well, even at high speeds. Still on the Alventi Zeta, I'm going to undertake a second
summer season with these tires and they still look like new after about ten thousand kilometers they particularly surprised me during a trip to Mauricie where I had to drive almost the entire journey in heavy rain, which is why I highly recommend them in the rain.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Zeta Alventi? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
i had under my 2008 Subaru Forester (before crash when it had to go to a junk yard) Goodyear efficient grip suv 215/65/16 they where far better handeling and much more silent then Zeta Alventi 215/55/17 on my Subaru Outback even the continental winter tyres are more silent. Its a no for me if they gone/old Goodyear is going back on
These tires feel quite grippy around corners and sharper turns, even during rain it never felt like they were about to lose grip while driving around a bendy road. I have never tried them on gravel or any other unpaved road simply because the side wall is a little small and I don't want to get my rims scratched up. But other than that I like these tires, the road feedback is there, sometimes a little too much feedback depending on the road.
i had Pirelli tyres fitted from new on my car and these lasted 35000 miles tread was great, good fuel low noise, good grip/ dry and wet, however side walls cracked on all four after 3yrs so was advised to change. I read reviews on the Zeta Aventi so tried them out,, half the cost of Pirelli and im now at 48000 miles and the tyres are still like new. Zeta was never known to me in the past but i would even say they are better handling, less noise than Pirelli, only down side to these tyres is the fuel economy, i am down around 4 mpg saying this i will only buy these tyres for all of my vehicles if they have the size.
4.5 / 5, FIRST CLASS tyre top end budget, but almost on par with top brand tyres for at least half the price..
These were new replacement tyres on a vehicle I bought- all in all for a budget tyre they are ok- handling in wet and dry seems sufficient
Don't know about longevity yet
They are a harder compound so not the softest ride , but not awful
Worth a try if you don't want to break the bank
This is my second set of Zeta Azura Tyres. The first set were OK - good value for the money. This new set (exactly the same) are extremely noisy. I've only done a few thousand k's and they are driving me nuts. Will replace all 4 within the next month or 2. Sorry but be careful.
Crap tyres. I put a pair on the rear of my e64 BMW and its weaving around and following the road camber at every opportunity. Even changing lanes is a hairy experience.
At speeds over 60MPH, the car tries to step out of line without any driver input.
They are in my opinion dangerous tyres if used by an inexperienced driver
Fitted to the front on a Ford Kuga AWD when purchased, the general handling is very poor the steering pulls with every undulations in the road even as small as crossing a white line. I can feel the wheel spin and the AWD react when accelerating away from traffic lights or exiting a bend or roundabout this is even worse on a wet road, if the car was front or rear wheel drive only they would be dangerous, an inexperienced driver would have difficulty handling the car in these circumstances.
Do not buy them
Driven quite happily on these for 10 months. The review is based on their cost and value for money. Driven sensibly these are spot on. Still plenty of tread left. Car is a 3 litre diesel remapped to 290 bhp with 463 torque. Types always feel quite safe. Cheap and cheerful I would have no problem buying these again.
These tyres were fitted new when i bought the Tiguan second hand at 12,000 miles. I'm now at 30,000 and I think the fronts need replacing. The car has plenty of grunt, and I drive rapidly,but never "on the limit" They have never given me any worries. The car is 4 wheel drive so presume that helps. I have had to brake hard on the odd occasion,but have never locked up or skidded so can't fault them really.
