Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Wildpeak WP A/T01
Pros
- Quiet and comfortable on-road, with several reviewers noting very little road noise, including on motorways and rural roads
- Strong dry-road performance and capable off-road/light trail traction
- Good initial wet grip and road manners when new; one reviewer found them quieter and better gripping than their previous BFGoodrich T/As
Cons
- Wet-weather grip that is poor or deteriorates with age, with reports of aquaplaning, wheelspin on hills or tight turns, and a need to engage 4WD in rain
- Snow and ice performance is weak, particularly in mushy snow, and can fade markedly after the first season or two
- Tread life is inconsistent and often shorter than expected: about 30k (roadworthy only) on one Patrol, 40-45k per set for another owner, and noticeable degradation by 20,000 km for another
Tire B ZIEX ZE001 A/S
Pros
- Quiet, comfortable ride, noted by several owners including a long-distance highway driver
- Good dry grip and handling, with several reviewers describing wet performance as impressive or confident
- Stable, composed behavior and good steering feedback in everyday driving, with one reviewer calling it a capable all-rounder that is not aimed at sporting use
Cons
- Premature tread wear is the most frequent complaint, with reports of tires nearly bald or needing replacement at roughly 34-36K miles, and fast wear noted at 13K miles, 15,000 km and 20,000 km
- Poor traction in snow, slush and ice, with some reviewers advising against use below 0°C
- Wet-weather concerns in some cases, including hydroplaning resistance described as dangerous on a turbo Mazda 6 and looser handling in the wet late in the tire's life

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
