The Zeon RS3-G1 is Cooper's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans looking for a tire to match the personality of their performance vehicles. The Zeon RS3-G1 is designed to deliver impressive handling and traction in dry and wet conditions, while still maintaining year-round capability, even in light snow.
The coupled silica tread compound of the Zeon RS3-G1 is specially formulated to provide maximum dry and wet traction and is molded into an asymmetric pattern with a focus on cornering grip and minimizing tire noise. Wide lateral notches and four deep, circumferential grooves allow water to flow away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. Traction in slippery conditions and light snow is aided by the 3-D Micro Gauge sipes, which create the biting edges needed for grip in addition to interlocking below the surface to stabilize the tread and enhance handling in all conditions.
Internal construction of the Zeon RS3-G1 consists of a two-ply polyester casing to maintain the balance between handling and ride quality. The high-stiffness bead filler resists distortion for quick steering response, and the twin steel belts are reinforced by a spirally wound, nylon wrap for high-speed capability.
El neumático Zeon RS3-G1 de Cooper pertenece a la categoría: Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado, para conductores que buscan un neumático que equipare la personalidad de rendimiento ofrecida por sus autos deportivos, cupés deportivos o sedanes de rendimiento. El Zeon RS3-G1 ha sido diseñado para proporcionar una maniobrabilidad impresionante y tracción en condiciones secas y mojadas, sin dejar de mantener su capacidad de uso durante todas las estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El compuesto de caucho combinado de sílice del Zeon RS3-G1, ha sido formulado especialmente, para proporcionar tracción máxima sobre superficies secas o mojadas, y es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con un patrón asimétrico, enfocado al agarre al tomar curvas y minimizar el ruido. Ranuras laterales anchas y cuatro canales circunferenciales profundos, permiten sacar el agua del área de contacto resistiendo el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Pequeñas ranuras tridimensionales "3-D Micro Gauge", proporcionan tracción en condiciones resbalosas o con poca nieve, gracias a la cantidad de bordes adherentes que se entrecruzan por debajo de la superficie, además estabilizan la banda de rodamiento y mejoran la maniobrabilidad en todas las condiciones climatológicas.
La construcción interna del Zeon RS3-G1 cuenta con una estructura de dos capas de poliéster, para mantener el balance entre maniobrabilidad y calidad del andar. Un refuerzo rígido en el área del alambre de aro o talón ayuda a resistir la distorsión, para así, obtener una respuesta más rápida la girar el volante. Dos correas de acero son reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral, para obtener mayor capacidad de andar a velocidades elevadas.

Testing Two of the Newest Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires(04:54)
In a competitive Ultra High Performance All-Season category focused on crisp, responsive handling, high-speed traction and all-season capability, nearly every brand has an entry. With every new release the current leader is the benchmark and it's a constant game of leapfrog.
Here's how two of the newest stack up against the latest and the greatest in the category.
User feedback reveals the Pirelli P Zero excels in dry traction, with scores often reaching 9-10 for confident cornering and precise handling. Wet traction also earns praise (7-10 range), offering reliable grip in rain, though a few note reduced hydroplaning resistance in heavy downpours. Comfort receives positive marks for ride quality, but noise levels show mixed feedback, with some reporting noticeable road hum. Treadwear scores (0-8) highlight concerns about durability, with many users noting a shorter lifespan than expected. As a max-performance summer tire, it delivers strong results in its intended categories, though aggressive drivers may prioritize its dynamic handling over long-term wear.

...Overall a great tire that performs well in all types of wet/dry conditions.
Got a set for the rear of my F Type R at a huge close out discount. These are the OEM tires and while I looked at some others, the price point on these was just too good to pass up. Overall a great tire that performs well in all types of wet/dry conditions.

...superb G force cornering, blistering road handling and amazing wet traction... when you do slip, predictability of this tire is amazing (using traction control in sporty mode) voila !! this wont be your long lasting tire for sure but, it will keep you safe on wet road and get you back home...
this is the tire that comes stock on the Camaro 2014 2SS RS(V8), well...I must say the engineers at Pirelli and, Chevy really did their homework. Balance between superb G force cornering, blistering road handling and amazing wet traction. there is a G force meter on the Camaro HUD (Heads up display)and I have recorded 0.91G on concrete and no slip. However, when you do slip, predictability of this tire is amazing (using traction control in sporty mode) voila !! this wont be your long lasting tire for sure but, it will keep you safe on wet road and get you back home. Enjoy!

Solid tire with good all around performance. Handles great on wet roads. Hard to find as no local tire dealers seem to stock the tire. Wears faster than I would like, but the traction is great.

Customers overwhelmingly rate the Pirelli P Zero's dry traction as excellent, with most scoring 9s and 10s. High marks highlight exceptional grip, precise cornering, and responsive handling, making it a standout choice for summer driving where confident dry-road performance is critical.

These tires are amazing. Each lap I increased my speed and could tell when I was reaching the edge, but these tires never let go...
These tires came stock on my new car. I previously had the older P Zeros Pirellis on my 2007 911 and did not really like them. They were fast wearing and did not let you know when you where getting close to losing traction. I replaced them with Michelin Super Sports and truly love these tires. I still have them on my 2007 (now my wife's car). I recently took my car to Miller Motorsports Park for a PCA driving event. The salesman who sold me the car (Daniel Eastman, an actual race car driver (see him in the video with Jan Leno and the Porsche 918)) said I should give these tires a try. I was very surprised. These tires are amazing. Each lap I increased my speed and could tell when I was reaching the edge, but these tires never let go. To make an actual comparison with the new Michelins, I would need to have two identical cars. That's not going to happen. I do recommend these tires. When these wear out (I bought the car mid-December) I will replace them with the Michelins and then I can make a better evaluation.

...Even on corners with rough road surfaces, the Pirellis don't skip and neither lose traction and the cornering grip is always fenomenal. With an aggressive alignment setup there is simply no understeer, in my BMW...
I've bought these tires (225/40 front, 255/35 rear - 18inch weels) for my BMW e92 Coupe to replace the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Runflats. I run these tires with 36 PSI (2.5 bar) front and 37PSI (2.55 bar)rear pressure (cold), 0deg40' camber front, 0mm total toe front, 1deg30' camber rear, +1mm total toe rear. There is simply night and day difference between the Pirellis and the Bridgestones, especially in therms of "road feel" and both dry and wet grip. Bridgestones had the best steering response (they were runflat) but the Pirellis gives you more feedback and are easier to drive to the limit because you can hear a bit of tire's "squealing" before they abandon you. Even on corners with rough road surfaces, the Pirellis don't skip and neither lose traction and the cornering grip is always fenomenal. With an aggressive alignment setup there is simply no understeer, in my BMW. Sidewall is still stiff enough for accurate driving, and tirewear seems good. Pirellis doesn't need as much as time as the Bridgestones to get warmed, but the tire performance -with appropriate tires pressure- lasts very long and doesn't drop during an "insane street session". Finally, there is a bit of tire noise but I don't really care about this. Phenomenal Max Performance tire...

...Daily driving situation: these tires provide quiet and comfort ride compared to regular all-season tires. No wonder these tires are used on luxury performance vehicles; Audi,BMW, Benz, Aston Martin, etc...
First of all, I don't understand why anyone would give bad rating after using these tires on cold/snow covered road. That's just nonsense. I'm only using this tire in Summer and have taken to few track days with my S4. It doesn't provide the best grip, but it was manageable and predictable. Daily driving situation: these tires provide quiet and comfort ride compared to regular all-season tires. No wonder these tires are used on luxury performance vehicles; Audi,BMW, Benz, Aston Martin, etc. For OEM tires, these are very good tires. If you want to sustain OEM ride, I'd recommend using these tires.

...The problem I am having (and a good problem at that) is that this car is so good, I'm not sure if the cornering stability, steering responsiveness and ride comfort is more the car or the tires. Noise level is non existent since I have a modified exhaust but I'll be sure to monitor as the miles accumulate...
I have a little less than 3,000 miles on these tires that came as OEM on my 2012 BMW M3 Coupe Competition Package. To be honest, I haven't been able to test the limits of the tires yet, except for a few cornering exhibitions when DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) is off, resulting in lots of understeer. Most of my normal driving is city with the occasional highway, but spirited nonetheless. It's starting to get cold now so the tires do take a little time to warm up in the morning, as with every Summer Performance Tire. The problem I am having (and a good problem at that) is that this car is so good, I'm not sure if the cornering stability, steering responsiveness and ride comfort is more the car or the tires. Noise level is non existent since I have a modified exhaust but I'll be sure to monitor as the miles accumulate. I don't have any complaints on these tires as of yet. Wet traction seems to be good, and no problems with hydroplaning. Treadwear won't be an issue to after 10K miles but so far, no unusual wear patterns and tread is even. Based upon the early review, I am happy with them.
Vehicle: 2012 BMW M3 Coupe Competition Package Miles Driven on Tires: 2,945 Driving Conditions: Combined Highway/City Location: Rumson, NJ Driving Style: Spirited
Despite some high scores (9s-10s), many rate treadwear between 0-6. Frequent reports of premature wear, rapid degradation, and needing early replacement. Customers express disappointment in tread life, with excessive wear noted even within summer tire expectations.
