They only good for a LONG LIFE, I got almost 40K out of them including a few trips to drag strip, a few burnouts & quiet a few autoX sessions. Sidewall roolls so much that for AutoX I had to fill them up to 55psi. Very hard rubber. They also squeeel like pigs when pished hard. HORRIBLE in a little snow, literally!
Yes, like backlash said, STAY AWAY from them. Get Kumho 712 (spelling?) instead.

I agree they are horrible

I finally got Yokohama paradas and are in love with them, they are so much better IMO

For a decent rain tire the Ziex are fine. Anything else and you might as well have gone with Kumho's or the new Azenis.

Stay away from the NT450's. They have just ok dry traction and their wet traction just sucks! Hydroplaning is a regular occurance. They are also a very loud tire and completely unforgiving of bumps/cracks on the road.

I now have Dunlop SP9000's ans cannot say enough good things about them for an everyday tire.

No they are not a very wise performance tire choice.

But they are black, round, and have a hole in the middle.....so you can still call them tires I suppose
