"Cheap and nasty" is a description that springs to mind, especially on a higher performance car. If you don't want to buy a premium brand tyre, why not go for one of the mid-range performance tyres that are known to be good instead of taking a gamble, e.g. Vredestein Sessanta, Falken FK452, Toyo T1R, Kumho KU31, Hankook Ventus etc.

I had a pair of zeons on the rear of my seat altea, after approx 1000 miles they became VERY noisy. I dont know the miles travelled (not as many as the previous ones) the inner edges were almost bald while the outer still had 5mm. I had the rear alignment checked and it was within tolerances. The previous tyres wore fairly evenly a friendly mechanic thought it was due to the tread pattern.

Would recommend you look at Falken they are very good, had them on my 230hp F1 Megane were better than the original ones fitted by Renault.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I will get another toyo t1r fitted then.Was just considering my options and the coopers had good reviews.
