They performed badly in the latest comparison of German ADAC and Swiss TCS. Rank 42 of 50 tires tested on wet and dry track. Amongst the worst chinese pack. "Bedingt empfehlenswert" = conditionally recommended.

I went for Bridgestone Turanza. Rank 4/50 and available in 205 60 R15.

Strange as ZV7 's always seemed to be good all round road tyres, maybe tyre technology has taken a leap forwards, obviously they will age though.

Surprised at your tyre pressures too, 22-23 psi are fine on my heavier Roadster and more in keeping with factory recommendations. With 26 psi on a Plus 4 they wouldn't provide flat contact patch and would have worn in the centre of tread, not to mention the rough ride.
