SEAT Ibiza Cupra 20VT Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Marangoni Zetalinea given 84% (205-40-17-W)

Do not be put off by the above reviews. I have tried many sets of tyres in the past 5 years, and out of all yoko's, toyo's and uni royals in the same price bracket (200-300 pound) the marangoni zeta's have been by far superiour, and I would not hesitate to recommend to others. I have now had 2 sets and will be buying a third.

Really good dry grip as long as you reach desirable temperature. Wet grip is not the best I've experienced, however it shouldn't worry you so much as the car does not lose contact with the road unless driver becomes really careless. In snowy conditions, forget it. You need to be really careful.
Amazingly durable sidewalls. After 43.000 klm, all 4 tires did not show any damage, even when climbing on pavements to park.
Performance in dry grip was still high at the end.
Decided to try Toyo's T1R, but would definitily buy P Zero's again!

These tyres really are a night and day tyre.

Seat Ibiza cupra running approx 230bhp

In the dry they are incredible no matter how much I throw at these tyres they stick to the road. I can easily take corners putting on the power extremely early and I have trusted them fully in every corner.

However in the wet these tyres are abysmal rarely am I amble to pull away without wheel spinning and looking like a complete idiot. On hill starts they are even worse with literally having to wheel spin to get any forward movement. Under steer is shocking in all corners and if I do boot it the lack of traction is horrific. It got to the point where I disliked driving my car in the wet due to my lack of confidence I these tyres.

Wear rate is pretty impressive having done about 8/9 thousand miles there is still plenty of tread left (Over 5mm) and the tyre walls really do respond well to my chemical boys tyre gel.

The ride is rather ‘crashy’ but that said I am on coilovers running 17s on a 40 profile so I can't complain.

Overall I realise these tyres are not developed for the UK climate. Takes a lot to warm them up but when they are it's also embarrassing how good they are compared to their wet performance. Would I buy again? no not in England. A warm climate with lower precipitation? Yes, defiantly.
