Very mysterious tires, but positive!
As in topic, very puzzling tyres. After leaving the workshop you feel that you are driving lightly, it is quiet and calm. Rolling resistance I must admit that it is very small, which can also be a downside - when moving uphill you have to be delicate because they can "box". It's more interesting after leaving the city, the tyres give the impression of swimming on the road, at faster turns you have to gently interact with the accelerator because the car starts to run. But on the highway at speeds above 120km / h you can feel stability and grip - the car does not float, the tyres glide smoothly and quietly on the surface - a few people have already noticed how quiet it is in the car while driving (and this is not an advantage of the car but tyres). However, another curiosity appears, at speeds above 190km / h they start to make a really strange noise despite the purchase of tyres with an increased speed index "Y" is puzzling. When it comes to combustion, it's not bad! They do not impress, they look more like tyres from my son's toy cars, but the tread is deep and after driving over 2500km they still look unmoved - well washed, they could be sold as new! Vulcanizer did not curse or complain while fitting tyres and he said that he put in a lot worse before.
Overall summary: This is my second set of Zeetex tyres (I bought winter tyres before) and I knew what I was choosing and I still recommend these tyres!

Good relation price / quality.
I fitted these tyres in April at 8 degree C. It was wet and chilly. Winter tires Pirelli Sotozero from 2009 with 5mm tread were losing grip at a faster acceleration. Vulcaniser, who I went to change the tyres, even mocked this Chinease brand, saying that they will be for no good. The first time he was surprised - there was no problem with balancing. For the second time we both wondered - me driving away from the garage while he was watching. I started pretty aggressively, and the tyres were like glued to the asphalt, without a single slip they dispersed by car. It was a surprise to me, because premium brand winter tyres did not manage this well. To this date, we drove with my wife over 6000 km on them. My wife goes to work, and I'm driving on longer trips. No slightest reason to complain about these tyres - especially when you consider the price of purchase. Sometimes I drive on the highway and I often exceed the speed limit. On multiple occasions I had to brake abruptly - there is no reason to complain about these tires. The car is 100% efficient, shock absorbers over 80% efficiency, no looseness in the suspension and geometry checked every year. I took a risk buying cheaper tires and I do not regret it. With a clear conscience I recommend them for people who also prefer quite dynamic driving style.
