They are tires for everyday normal use in everyday cars and not for fast or improved ones. And for the roads here, no tire is good...they are miserable.
Audi S3 Cabriolet 2016. Had these on the car when I bought it, they look the job but found the dry grip was ok but a bit squirmy when under pressure. The first time it rained these showed their true colors! Awful bordering dangerous, they left my rear end sticking out on a roundabout even on a quattro S3. My first job is to get these off and replaced with some Michelins or Bridgestones. I can't believe how bad these are in the wet. DO NOT buy these, you will need the grip at some point and you will not have it.

Do not buy this tire if you value your wellbeing! I fitted to 320d rear, the whole rear ended twists under load. If you cross a white line the tire deforms and try’s to put you in the hedge even at 50mph! If it wasn’t for dsc I’d be dead already. It comes to something when your 13 year old in the passenger seat can feel the whole car wallowing like a boat! These should never be allowed on the road. Please do not buy!
Had these fitted by a "cheap" garage that my mum liked to use (cheapskate)
Ended up charging me £400 for 4 of these things to be fitted
Seriously cheap, wore down quick and although i hadn't lost grip in the dry, in the wet it became obvious.
After 2 years the front 2 tires are down to 70% wear. Replaced with some quality Michelin P4s', £200 fitted in my driveway, miles better grip!
Will be getting rid of the rears soon.
Buy this brand and use it almost a year then the tire has lump in 4 tires. Not recommended since my car just barely used for long travel and only use to pick kids from school.
Well. I’m pretty sure I reviewed these two years ago when I thought they might be near the end of their life... here we go again.
These two pieces of volcanic bedrock were on the rear of my SLK230 when I bought it in 2017 and had approximately 5K and 6 months of use already on them.
Fast forward to today: 26th of August 2020.
Three and a half years have passed, 35000 miles have been slipped/slid/burnt/tumbled through and I’ve have my third MOT with no advisories aside from ‘worn rear tires’. These things are made from armor-grade depleted uranium and hold in the wet as you’d expect being made from a material harder than the compressed center of a dead star.
In dry they are acceptable. In the wet they will continuously try to murder you in an admittedly progressive and slidey fashion.
For the price; I’d put these on any non performance car simply because they’d outlive the driver. For any vehicle with the capacity to do 0–60 in less than an epoch I can not recommend at all.
I read some of the reviews after I'd bought a full set of these tires for my daughters car, nearly passed out some of them were so damning. Went home and drove the car myself expecting it to have turned into some sort of drift machine, but no, surprisingly it hadn't. Must just be the wet driving I thought...so after a decent bit of rain...which is common in Northern Ireland I took it for another blast on wet roads. Gave it plenty both into, round and out of roundabouts expecting to end up exiting on the other side of the carrageway...but no It wasn't that bad. True the car did drift a couple of feet outta line, but never let go. Lest just say I was well over the 30mph limit through the roundabouts and lived to tell the tale...yep on wet roads too. In summary these arn't the dearest tires on the market they're a budget tire so don't expect outstanding performance. They're not lethal at all and for the everyday driver, just fine. Would I buy them again....we'll see...!!
Bought these tires thinking they would be like any other tire, hell was i wrong DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES my car swerves on motorway and feels like im in a boat Very dangerous especially with kids if you are suicidal it makes sense to buy them and you will save a bit of money also but if you want to have a few years of life please avoid your traction control will also be working overtime, i have had them on my car 1 week and have ordered new pirellis in will be changing today.
My zeta ztr10 tires are very well in the wet and dry and the road noise is almost non existent and I drive a hybrid so that's a big plus for me. My overall experience with the zeta tires are amazing and I would recommend them.
I recently bought a used Subaru BRZ and the dealer replaced the worn OEM Michelin Premacy rear tires with a pair of Zeta ZTR10's.
In short the only tires I can recall that provided such poor handling and feedback were a set of cheap remoulds many years ago. If these are a cheap tire they may be OK for a shopping car, but don't put them near anything sporty. They'll be coming off as soon as I can decide whether to replace just the tires or go for a new wheel/tire package.
The longer version :
when cornering these made the car feel as if the side-wall was flexing under the lateral load, or as if a bush was worn. When I eased off slightly, it returned to shape. Attempting to take a moderate sweeping bend with any enthusiasm had the car tracing the path of a 50-pence piece.
As an experiment I rotated the wheels to have the Zeta's at the front, worn Premacy's on the rear. Now the rear was stable, the front vague.
As a further experiment I used a set of old wheels with old and worn no-name tires and even they were noticably more stable and communicative then the Zeta's.

These are on my 2009 MX-5 Miata and I have been driving with them for over a year. Handling is not as good as the premium tires like Bridgestone Potenzas, etc., but for the price they are a steal and well worth it for street use.
