I've got Ziex's on my hatch and they're a great all season tire. If you're looking for max summer tread, these are not your tires. But, they have decent dry traction and they are good in rain too. They are a great deal for the price.

Never bought the ZRi's, but I did just buy some Ziex's and I love them.

I had azenis, and the most noticeable thing is road noise. Second is it's a much smoother/comfy ride. I actually went up in width from 205 on teh azenis to 225 on the ziex's, the grip is just slightly less with the wider ziex's. The most noticeable performance difference, is that I think I can actually feel the increase body roll/tire rollover from the less stiff Ziex sidewall.

I'm sold on these things though. For the price/performance/comfort there is no better all around equal.

yeap.. i had ziex's in 205/50-15. great all weather tire; they did awesome in the snow. they wear pretty well, and are decent handlers. great for a daily driver, but not so great for auto-x/track
