I have Marangoni Zeta directional tyres on the front of my IS 300 SportX and these are almost new. The rear has Pirelli P6000 which are due for replacement.
Anybody know anything about the Marangoni's? Should I put a pair of them on the rear as well or would I be better with an asymetrical tyre such as Dunlop 9000's or what would anybody recommend.

never heard of em

Neither had I so I called Black Circles whom I had dealt with a few times before, to order 2 new Toyo Proxes T1-R for the back and they said that, whilst relatively unknown in this country Marangoni Zeta tyres are amongst the best performance tyre manufactured in Italy to the most exacting quality control standard in the industry. Apparently very highly regarded by some. Still, all I wanted to know really is whether they were good enough for the Lexus so he set my mind at rest on that score. Incidently the full cost is £104.48 per tyre fully fitted with Black Circles so definitely not cheap.

All I know is that the name is all over STS vans so maybe Dr Bones knows more about them.

That might be becase the parent company is one of the worlds biggest
re-treaders. Not with the Zeta performance tyre of course.

Well yes. the Marangoni tyre pattern/ style i have always have good customer feed back from, then last month there were whispers that a construction issue has become a problem, STS commanded all Marangoni tyres to be returned to the warehouse and any dated 0100 destroyed. please dont read this wrong? a simple falling out between companys is possible.
