MG ZT 260 Tyres

Great tyres with lots of grip. Excellent rubber quality and design, very reliable on different road conditions. An economical buy and they're made in the UK. The best choice, no doubt!

To add to my initial review in December,I have now used them in the wet ! Also, they are fully "run in". They are FABULOUS - in the dry and in wet conditions. The handling/ cornering ability/ performance- of these tires-- is fantastic!

Absolutely f a n t a s t i c . Much much better than the old TIR'S. These new T1 SPORT'S.. are extremely rigid/ feel so solid. Bur they are not harsh.. like some Bridegstones. In fact it had RE040'S on before, and these TOYO'S are seriously better. At first, they feel a little less communicative than the RE40'S.. but when scrubbed in, after a couple of hundred miles or so.. good god, what tires !! I havn't been brave enough to find their limits yet. On some tarmac types.. they are noisy, but what the hell ! At 150mph.. the car feels 100% dead solid on the road. Really safe trustworthy tires. Havn't used em in the wet yet.. but they are supposed to be BETTER in the wet than the dry.. so lORD KNOWS what they will be like, when I eventually use in the wet, IF thet are this goood in the dry !!! The cornering with them on is miles better than the RE40'S.. which were supposed to be excellent on the 260'S !! Plus..the Tires look BIGGER, ie w i d e r than the RE40's on the car ( same size ). All in all.. the best Peformance Tires I have had.. and I have had the whole lot over the years. BUY EM !!!

I drive a 4.6 V8 with rediculous amounts of torque. The Barum just handles it all with ease. Great tyres stupidly cheap. When the wife's SLK needs new tyres that's what I'll be putting on them - same pattern as Continentals.

Nice dry grip, don't squeal too much and are very progressive as they let go. They also get better the warmer or the more they are worked. They clear a lot of water in the wet and are unlikely to aquaplane which is nice when the family are in the car. Grip wise they have good wet grip but maybe not as much as continental sc3 or other premium tyres. I drive more carefully in the wet but the feedback allows a bit of fun at low speeds. They give a good ride with low road noise. The size I have are xtra load or re-inforced they seem to suit the car well. All said if I had an endless supply of money I would choose a high performance tyre in high end premium brand. However for the price they are excellent performance/cost and far better than the mid-range tyres on the car before (the previous owners Maxxis tyres where a few months old when I changed for the ZZ3's).

Cope very will the power of a V8 RWD saloon. Grip in the dry and wet is very good. The tail can still be made to brake away, but its progressive and controllable. Only real negative comment is that are quite a soft compound, and so longevity isn't that great (my rears only lasted 5K miles) but if your priority is grip rather then mileage, then I haven't a better tyre for the money yet. I replaced my last set of ZZ3's with Falken 452's, but that has proven to be a mistake as the 452's haven't performed well at all, being particularly poor in the wet, and really struggling for grip in cooler conditions. Will definitely be buying another set of ZZ3's in the spring when my winter tyres are removed, and the 452' will be binned or sold despite having lots of life left.

These are a solid choice as far as mid range to budget tyres are concerned. They have nice stiff sidewalls, suit a heavier car and are well priced. They loose out a little on grip in cold and wet compared to more expensive tyres. However they offer a very good performance/price ratio. In the dry the grip is very good, they are quiet and offer a comfortable ride.

They seem to last very well and if that is what you want you will like them for that. Grip is mainly fair but poor on cold wet surface if pushing on. 12k covered still 10-12k left with tyre rotation. I would buy for any normal A-B use, more than good enough. Not as grippy as the Kumho fitted before but they were no great shakes either.

Fitted these to my MG ZT 260 to replace some fast wearing Avon ZZ3's after reading many glowing reports online. Only good thing I can say about the 452 is that it doesn't wear that quickly. Dry grip is average, but grip in wet or even damp conditions is pretty poor, for what is sold a high performance tyre. The feedback and progressiveness is not all that inspiring. I found grip levels in cooler conditions to be so poor that this year I invested in a set of winter tyres.
Fitting those has really highlighted just how much the 452's struggle for grip in the wet or cold. The winters have made a huge difference to the drivability of the car, I no longer have to tiptoe along damp or icy roads for fear of the back end stepping out.
Come spring when the winters come off, the 452's will be binned, despite having a good 15-20K miles of life left in them, and replaced with another set Avon ZZ3's, which although they wear pretty quickly, far out perform the 452.
