Opel astra h 1.6 Tires

Dry rotting began at around 2 years, and has gotten very bad at the 3 year mark. I live in Greece, and the car is outside, so the sun does beat down on them a lot. Also, the tires have become INCREDIBLY unbalanced. The whole car shakes, and especially the steering wheel, even after balancing the tires, and swapping them front to back. Maybe more frequent rotations would have helped this however. Dry grip is not where it should be, lots of tire spin. Noise levels are noticeably harsh. Wet grip is surprisingly decent even after 3 years.

Bought these tires when i was tight on budget. All fours on my Astra. Had used Goodyear, Lassa, Michelin and Continental on my other cars before. This tire is a decent option if you rarely get rain and use it on dry road on highways. They started dry rotting but i pushed them on crappy roads to be fair. My rear right tire got 3 punctures, i also had punctures before on all the brands i mentioned before but these kept leaking air and didn't hold on to the patch even though it was prepped properly. Replaced my rear tires with Michelin cross climate 2's and will do the same on the front when they start getting bald. Road comfort is god awful in these tires i got scared my rear suspension was going to blow on rough roads. After switching to cc2's it got so much more comfortable to drive. When it comes to grip i did an emergency brake test on 60 km/h with my foot flat on the brake pedal, i just heard light squeaking and it came to a decent stop on dry road. On wet roads though it skids a little and really tests the limits of your ABS. Road feedback is really just meh even on dry roads. And as i said they wear rather quick compared to some of the other tires i used before and they also dry rotted even though i used my car frequently. I'd say if you're tight on budget and rarely get rain and drive mostly on highways, it's a fine tire. Would i buy it again even if i was tight on budget (for my conditions at least)? NO. You can really get better tires for this price i think.

Opel astra 2012 factory tire I still use the car 110 thousand winter tire was used in winter. Although it is a very good rubber capillary cracks, its pattern still has a very good hardening, but it has been 8 years. the result is an excellent tire.

Tires are great as performance. I will certainly buy them again.
Compared to my previous tires hankook, these last shorter but performance in real winter conditions is better and foresure you stop faster than any other commercial tires.
Good tires.

Drove all winter with these fantastic tires for about 10000kms. Wet grip is very firm, traction is precise and they are really good on wet surfaces. Dry is also ok, just some ocasional slids when starting fast. Overall very good winter tire for the money. People also are driving them on snow and they are satisfied too.

I didn't hear before from the brand Zeetex. The garage did put the Zeetex HP 1000 on my CoupéCabriolet. The first 5000 km (3000 miles) were outstanding: little roads, heavy rain, highways, curvy roads (Gorges of Verdon - France).
Great tire for a reasonable price. I was surprised in a positive way.

I already wrote a review for these tires (11/21/2014) after first summer and 8000 miles with these tires. My impressions were then excellent. Now a month and a half after I'm again with summer tires this year and the new 1500 miles my opinion has changed:
During winter, the tires were stored properly in the basement of my house, the temperature inside always is above 10 degr.C.
When installed tires again, I was unpleasantly surprised. The tires were lost 50-60% of their dry and wet braking grip and 20-30% of dry grip when cornering. Especially on rear wheels(which were in front side of the car, first summer and have visibly weared compared with another pair - more than 1mm). Wet cornering grip is still excellent. And the tires are still extremely quiet.
The biggest surprise was fuel consumption of the car - it was decreased with 1 l/100km immediately after exchange of winter tires. Without to change my driving style.
Finally I want to say that the main disadvantage of the tires is that rubber compound getting older quite fast for this price class. With this temps of wearing and with my aggressive style of driving it will be hard to drive these tires another full hot season. In this case is much more better if I buy tires from lower price class and to change them each season. Even cheaper tires are quite good in first season. This is from a financial perspective!
But if I put from opposite side excellent performance and comfort from last summer - it worth all money which I spend for these tires. It st not possible to buy cheaper tires with such a performance.

I will start my second review of these brilliant tire whit few refinements:
1. I have Performance version of BluResponse.
2. These are summer tires for use in temperatures above 12 - 15 degree Celsius, and reviews given at the end of January for the tires sounds usuriously, unless if you are not from southern hemisphere.
3. To be able to feel how great are the tires you have to warm it first and not to be afraid of ABS, ESP or traction control assist you.
Ofcource you should make it not on snow or ice.
4. I write this not because I will take some money or I work for Dunlop. It's visibly also of low prise class of my car. But because I'm really impressed by the performance of these tires. And because I was bought tires after read a lot of reviews in this site, and it were exact and wealth enough.
If you are interest in my impressions after 8000 miles, you can read my first review below, given on 21.11.2014 after I was already changed it with my Conti Winter contact TS850, which were also bought thanks of exact information in Tirereviews.co.uk👍.

The quietest tires I've ever driven! Excellent grip on dry and wet. Excellent dry breaking and cornering. Excellent aquaplaning in straight and when cornering. Even in 2-3 cm water at heavy rain on highway - absolutely stability even at 100 mph! I haven't enough courage for more speed. When go true areas with deep water 5 - 10 cm, only with right or left wheels very low reaction in steering wheel. With original tires of the car - Bridgestone Turranza 300ER it have to break my hands - the worst tires I've ever had!
The only relatively weak characteristic is wet breaking, but compared with other excellent parameters of the tires. Evan with this relatively weak side they blow away all my previews tyers! I strongly recommend it to performance drivers.

Excellent on snow, excellent on wet. Perfect on dry. Good cornering stability. Not so quiet as my previous Goodyear UG7,especially on wet and on some country roads. Good breaking. Still wasn't test it on ice. Became too soft at temperatures over 10 degree C. Perfect at temperatures below 5 degree C.
Enormous traction and grip on snow, excellent stability in 15cm snow (not cleaned road). Even at speed 55 mph. Great tires.
