How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
26/100From 33 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Zeta ZTR10 is a polarizing budget-tier tire that receives significant criticism for its performance in wet conditions. While some users appreciate the low price point and acceptable dry-weather handling for casual commuting, a large majority of reviewers report dangerous levels of instability, poor traction, and unpredictable behavior in the rain, often leading to premature replacement.
Pros
- Highly affordable price point
- Acceptable performance for casual, dry-weather city driving
- Low road noise levels reported by some users
- Aesthetically pleasing tread pattern
Cons
- Extremely poor wet-weather traction and handling
- Unpredictable loss of grip leading to vehicle instability
- Inconsistent quality control and potential for premature deformation
- Lack of confidence-inspiring feedback for spirited or performance driving
Worth knowing
- Performance-oriented vehicles (e.g., Audi S3, BMW 320d, Focus ST) frequently report significant handling issues and 'squirming' under load.
- Heavier vehicles and those with higher torque outputs appear to struggle significantly with traction control activation and stability compared to lighter, economy-focused cars.
- Users note that running these tires on vehicles with high-performance expectations often results in immediate removal due to safety concerns.
