Performance Analysis

The Falken ZE914 shows mixed summer performance with substantial variability across tests. It delivers an occasional strong result, notably a podium in the 2017 ACE SUV test (3/11), but is more often mid-to-lower tier in compact/midsize dimensions, averaging 10th overall across four tests. This suggests situational competence-potentially size/vehicle-specific-without consistent class-leading capability.
Weaknesses are more prevalent in broader, competitive comparisons (14/15 in AutoBild 2016; 12/16 in ACE 2013), indicating gaps versus leading tyres in key safety metrics. The 11/19 in ADAC 2015 reflects middling all-round ability rather than a focused strength.
