Surprisingly quiet tire compare to Silverstone on stock. Very little noise and very smooth on road. Even after 1 month of heavy use, the noise level is very minimal. Recommended

I recommend this 100% I have after market rims and my car is lowered down with bc coilovers. The only tire I've used that compared to this near perfect tire was Yokohama s drives. I have used both. On my third time to buy be tires I chose the Zeetech again instead of the Yokohama because footer the value. Zeetech was more affordable than the overpriced Yokohama. I drive from an average of 60 miles a day. Mostly highway. Anyone who tells you that this tire isn't high quality and long lasting must have forgotten to get their alignment done. This is my second set and I want to thank whoever decided to get it made in this size. Thank you. Have a safe day. And remember, Alignment is the 🔑 to a safe set of tires rain or shine I feel safe with my family. Yes. Daily driven, slammed, with tires that can support all the modifications of your car.

Replaced my Conti 5s with these on a friend's recommendation. I track my car, and these tires are terrible. No corner grip, long braking distances (both road and track!) and very soft sidewalls make this a terrible performance tire. If you want a hard, long lasting, comfortable and low noise tire for the road, these are great. But if you want a solid performance tire, look elsewhere.
I have these tires fitted to a Mazda mx5, they were fitted by the dealer before I bought the car. Dry grip is not great, wet grip is really poor, the tires give me no confidence at all in the wet. Soon to be changed for a premium brand.
PROS:
- quiet
- comfortable ride
- cheap
- protective board
CONS:
- not many, I believe grip is not as hard but nothing major for a normal type of driving
Would buy again. Price-quality ratio is unbeatable.
