Zeetex tyres??

hey guys,

Can someone share their opinions/experiences regarding these tyres?
cheers.

Long lasting and ok grip but nothing compared to a good brand of tyre!!

But i paid $100 a tyre for my 17's and they lasted 10,000kms with me purposely trying to fry them, even 12 burnouts later at the off street drags, they were fine.

They only wore out due to the IRS camber on the Commodore, mate still has his Zeetexs on his R32 which he's had for 3 years and around 60,000kms!!

Yes they last a long time. Cheap shit though.

cheers guys. i got quoted 200 a corner today??..may have to pass on these. Was looking at Toyo proxes T1R 225/35/18 and 87 loading which is right on for the astra TS. I do believe these are a better tyre. What do you guys reckon?

Pretty expensive for the Zeetexs at 200 a corner, the Toyo Proxes will definetely be a better tyre than the Zeetex's though!!

Federal SS's are better value for money

They look good but the rating is too low for me. In the 225/35/18 the rating is 83. I need 87 up..thanks for the suggestion.:D

Don't skimp on tyres.....

i have them on my car, $100 a corner for 17's. they are "OK"... ie. good for street, not the best grip in the world but i'm not a race car driver so i don't push my car to the tyres limits. long lasting which is a bonus.

:yikes:

Falken ZE912 @ $209 a corner would be better value for money mate.. and they come with an 87 rating

thanks for the input guys. Ive have a few days to choose as im waiting for my rims to come down from tempe. Im now trying to crunch some guys for some proxey 4's in a 215/40/18. I know some people are thinking ":confused:" but i need to raise my ground clearance due to rear sway bar linkages being to low ATM (40 series will do this rather well). Maybe some s-drives or the cheaper GF Goodrich Geforce sport. Plenty of options (kinda:D) Im thinking i should be ok with this size even with eibach pros. Im glad the tyre poll started on the forum. great timing indeed:cornut:....its such a tricky and touchy little topic. Each to their own for sure. I deff dont want to spend more than 300 a corner. cheers.
