I have currently a set of Alventi Zeta on mine. Nope I had not heard of them either, but am a believer of driving to abilities and conditions, both mine and the tyres, as well as the nearly £300 price difference of the only other available set that day. Could have went cheaper though. I have to say I have been very shocked at how good they have been so far, in frost, light snow, and heavy rain with standing water. Only on about 4 or 5000 miles. Wearing as well as any tyre I have had

errrm, they may try to question it, but that is as far as they can go with that. The argument wont work at all. As long as they are E approved (or whatever approval tyres must conform to) , they have the correct or higher load/speed rating, age, within wear limits etc, and the correct size (within limits, remember some 75s were fitted with 195 and 205, who is to say which was correct when it left the factory? ) .
It would also render a lot of cars scrap too, if a tyre manufacturer stops producing a model of tyre.
