B Good Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I am thinking about changing the tyres on my HPC - the 13 year old 'Pile-ups' have got to go. I don't want to change the wheels at this stage so I have been looking for 205/45/16 tyres. Camskill appear to be virtually giving away Zeta Lineas at the moment - £42 each seems like a very good deal on paper. On the web-site Marangoni are described as the Parent company of Stunner and they note that the Zeta Linea is the same construction as the Stunner Scudo but with a softer compound. I was wondering if anyone had any experience of these tyres, good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheely Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 A relative of mine has fitted this brand of tyre to his Alfa GTV (3.2 ltr) 45 profile in 18". Not sure about the type though? He was trying them instead of F1 Eagles. When I last spoke to him about them he said he was pleased with them. I think he wears the fronts out pretty quickly with only road use. Will make more inquiries at weekend if you are interested to know what exactly what he is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hmmmm...Interesting 😬 😬 The stunners are pretty good on the road!! Softer compound would be an even bigger improvement! Note...Stunners seem to be the List 1a tyre of choice for sprints! You'd possibly need to go to Yoko 21's for more grip! Well, if these are listed as 1A tyre next year I know what I'll be replacing the stunners with 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Dannyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Good Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Cheers Wheely, hold that result at present thanks. I think that for the money the Zeta Lineas have got to be worth a go. Planning to break my track-day viginity next spring Danny boy so anything will be grippier than the current pile-ups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Zeta Linea's are on the 1A list already, I looked into them before I bought my Stunners and came to the conclusion that they probably wern't as good, although only probably 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hmmm.... Website here and brochure here See some pictures of the build here. 10000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Good Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Probably better than 13 year old pile-ups then and cheep as the proverbial chips. 😬 Thanks chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Normuss Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Fit Stunners, I did to my HPC wheels ric's fun to be found here Seek forgiveness, not permission.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted October 20, 2006 Support Team Share Posted October 20, 2006 The Zeta Lineas will possible be dropped from list 1A next year - check your 2006 blue book. I read about these being softer compound than Stunners and searched to see if anyone was using them but to no avail. Stunners aren't really that soft at all - they have a wear rate value of 300 compared with CR500s value of 20 (essentially the lower the number the softer the tyre - or at least the quicker it will wear out).

Jason Plato Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I find that the wear rate number doesnt always reflect the tyres grip levels. Pinch of salt on that one here is C7 TOP South Wales AO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Good Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Any ides how I can check out the wear rate value for the Zeta Lineas? Also any ideas how the scle works gratefully received - are the Stunners really 15 time (300/20) less sticky than ACB10's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted October 20, 2006 Support Team Share Posted October 20, 2006 Dave - I can believe that but it's at least a starting point for investigations. Yellow SL #32 Edited by - Shaun_E on 20 Oct 2006 12:09:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
