Found them really grippy in wet and dry. Low road noise, and just the right amount of flex in the side walls. They are the XL tyres. Thing is, we all drive differently so could be down to that. What didn't you like about them?

They were good to start with, then they just lost all grip. despite doing only a few thousand on them. What attracted me to them was the wet grip rating, which as I said was excellent to start with. Taking a sweeping left hand bend the front would just wash out! I lost confidence in them in the end.

I don't do a lot of mileage a year (I know I've done 800mile but was a trip away), so hopefully I'll get use before they go off.

Cheers, just don't like doing things I haven't planned to do straight away. But that's car ownership for you lol.......plus it's always best if you can stop the car.

Those wheels look brand new ...

Got every receipt for the car, wheels were refurbed in 2012. One has a small chip in the paint, and some have small corrosion in the spokes. But a good clean and a coat of wax, they come up really well. Waxing them helps prevent brake dust sticking. Rarely use wheel cleaner as it's too corrosive.

Ive got to say, I love driving my ZS.......I didn't buy it for economical purposes, I brought it for the fun! Which it definitely is.

Just driven 292 miles, 20 miles b roads and the rest motorway/A roads. It was so comfy and smooth, handled really well on the back road parts. And as a bonus, I've still got 1/4 tank of fuel left! That's driving at 70mph max

Just got back from 4 days away, ZS was a pleasure to drive. And my new centre cap badges were here waiting for me. Thanks to Daz @ Locking Vinyl.



Will get them fitted tomorrow after washing the car.

Centre caps fitted, also washed the car after 800 miles of flies, road grime, bird poo's etc. Wash going to wax it, but it's started raining!

Badges fitted to caps.



On car, well happy with them.
