CT4000 4S VFM

I was wary of being among the first to buy these tyres as they were brand new to the market and I could not find an abundance of reviews. However, having checked out the specifications and compared to more well-known brands, I decided to take the plunge. Fitted four of these five months ago. My decision was heavily influenced by the fact that the Zeetex ZT4000 4S was reported to have the M+S AND the 3PMSF (three peak mountain snow flake) symbols. The suppliers actually told me that the tyres did not have the 3PMSF symbol, but I had seen online images which suggested otherwise, so crossed my fingers and trusted those instead. The tyres are indeed stamped with both symbols. Any fears I had about road noise disappeared from the start. Despite the tread pattern, the tyres are quiet. They grip like nobody's business, better in wet than dry conditions, although they perform exeedingly well in the dry. Best feature? The low rolling resistance. Shortly after the tyres were fitted, I began to play a game on long distance journeys: how many miles can the car travel at the roughly same speed with my foot off the accelerator pedal? Turns out that it is quite a lot, even along flat stretches. I have to be really careful in areas with speed cameras no matter the weather (and even on rough surfaces!), because simply easing off the accelerator does not slow the car down noticeably, as has happened with previous tyres. I have saved a an absolute bundle on petrol since these were fitted. So far, I don't regret my choice. They are fun tyres to travel on. The tyres have held up well, no signs of wear so far. I have travelled on everything from narrow, poorly maintained country roads, motorways, ice and standing water. Can't wait to test them in snow!
