I bought 2 Zeetex tyres for the front today,the guy there recomended them over the cheaper chinese rubbish (His words)

At €70 a pop

I got the tracking done aswell which he left at €30,most places was €50

Has anyone used them or heard of them before?

Iv looked online but havent come across any prices or reviews..

£70 a pop meaning £70 a tyre? Surely not?

Ive never heard of them, so i wouldnt bank on them being good!

True, maybe its the exchange rate, but that does seem expensive.

I got a pair of 195.65.15 Goodyear Duragrips for £120 fitted for the SX C5.

How about Avons (made in Wiltshire)? If you fit your own, about £40 each. My Xantia has a pair on the front as I was quoted nearer £60 for Michelin Energies when I needed 2 new tyres a couple of months ago. Very happy with them so far.

I had Avons on successive Montego estates for over 10 years. Excellent wet grip and low road noise, though the penalty for softer rubber was higher wear compared with a pair of Continentals I tried for a short while. After a massive understeer incident on a fast bend in the wet (left-hand and nobody coming the other way), I called a halt to the 'experiment' - I could see the Continentals out-living me!
