when i daily drove my hatch i had the ziex's and also used them for autox . they are not bad actually, they did have grip
now i don't daily drive the hatch so i moved him up to the falken azeni rt 615
i use the falken ziexs on the rex because i can't afford drag radials yet, i find that they grip pretty well when I get off the clutch correctly . plus i have to do a short burn out to clean them off because they do pick up a lot of dirt and pebbles when warmed up.
by no way are the ziex's a competition tire but for daily driving and light racing i can't complain

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
