Description
The Zeta Active 4S is an all-season tire designed for dynamic passenger vehicles, balancing wet, dry, and light snow performance. Its asymmetric tread pattern incorporates hundreds of micro-sipes and sharp block edges to enhance grip on slippery surfaces, while deep circumferential grooves prioritize water evacuation. A high-silica compound improves wear resistance and flexibility across temperatures, targeting drivers in regions with mild winters and variable weather. The reinforced shoulder blocks and 12.2/32-inch tread depth emphasize durability and predictable handling.
Features & Benefits
- High-Density Siping: Hundreds of micro-grooves create biting edges for improved traction on wet and icy roads.
- Sharp Block Edges: Enhance snow grip and braking efficiency by digging into loose or compacted surfaces.
- Deep Circumferential Grooves: Channel water rapidly, reducing hydroplaning risk during heavy rainfall.
- Silica-Rich Compound: Lowers rolling resistance by 8–12% compared to conventional all-season tires, improving fuel efficiency.
- Reinforced Shoulder Blocks: Stabilize the tread during cornering, improving steering response and reducing uneven wear.
- Asymmetric Tread Design: Optimizes dry-road stability and wet/snow traction without compromising noise levels (72 dB).

Final Thoughts
The Zeta Active 4S suits drivers seeking year-round versatility in regions with mild winters and wet conditions. Its strength lies in predictable wet and light snow performance, though it lacks the deep snow traction of dedicated winter tires. The reinforced construction and deep tread grooves extend lifespan, making it cost-effective for high-mileage urban and highway use. However, aggressive drivers may find its dry-road feedback less precise than ultra-high-performance all-season rivals. A practical choice for commuters prioritizing safety and durability over sporty dynamics.
