Cooper Zeon 4XS

Replaced my entire set of Pirellis as I think they are over rated. The Coopers have a very precise feel to my surprise. It's a very sporty tyre for the road. Dry grip maybe reduced as the grooves are so wide. Very well priced and underrated. Unsure of the wear at this stage.

Haven't got these for long but noticed they are extremely quiet. I don't get much road noise from these compared to the top brands. These tyres have extremely wide grooves, rather like the Michelins, so I know my car can cope with aquaplaning well. They also have silica so wet grip should be fine. In the dry, i have had no problem.

They are designed and made in the UK. AutoExpress should feature these tyres in their tyre tests and support the UK industry. Perhaps their editors have not even heard of Cooper. Neither have I till a few months ago. Recommended.

This is one of the least known tyres for SUVs in the UK because Cooper do not advertise in Europe. They are effectively the same as Cooper's best tyre CS6, which is also designed in the UK. Same tread patterns, same material but bigger in sizes. The Porsche garage told me to get these instead of Dunlops or Bridgestones if I want excellent performance in the wet.

I didn't want to write this review for a while because it will make their prices rocket if everyone starts buying them. My Cayenne Turbo beats the X5Ms and X6Ms off the lights in the wet every time! Not quiet as good traction compared to the Mercedes ML63s with their Continentals tho.

I don't know how good their construction is tho. That is unknown to me.
