  • The Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun achieves only a satisfactory overall result, primarily due to its dry performance. On dry surfaces, it fails to provide precise steering feedback, making it difficult for drivers to adjust the steering angle for curves accurately, which precludes a good rating. Its handling at the limit is also rated as just satisfactory, though it does receive a good rating for its braking distance. In wet conditions, the Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun performs better, securing good ratings in braking distance measurements and aquaplaning resistance, but narrowly misses a good rating in handling. While the vehicle can be safely driven on the course, increased grip and precision would improve its performance. Environmentally, the Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun only achieves a satisfactory rating. It scores well for projected mileage and wear, but its status as the heaviest tyre in the test leads to only an adequate rating in that criterion. Its fuel consumption is barely rated as good, and sustainability, particularly for tyres produced in Turkey, is deemed adequate.
  • Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun, öncelikle kuru performansı nedeniyle genel olarak yalnızca tatmin edici bir sonuç elde ediyor. Kuru yüzeylerde, sürücülerin virajlar için direksiyon açısını doğru bir şekilde ayarlamasını zorlaştıran hassas direksiyon geri bildirimi sağlamada başarısız oluyor ve bu da iyi bir derecelendirmeyi engelliyor. Sınırdaki kullanımı da yalnızca tatmin edici olarak derecelendiriliyor, ancak fren mesafesi için iyi bir derecelendirme alıyor. Islak koşullarda, Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun daha iyi performans gösteriyor, fren mesafesi ölçümlerinde ve suda kızaklama direncinde iyi derecelendirmeler elde ediyor, ancak kullanımda iyi bir derecelendirmeyi kıl payı kaçırıyor. Araç pistte güvenli bir şekilde sürülebilirken, artan tutuş ve hassasiyet performansını artıracaktır. Çevresel olarak, Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun yalnızca tatmin edici bir derecelendirme elde ediyor. Tahmini kilometre ve aşınma açısından iyi puan alıyor, ancak testteki en ağır lastik olma durumu bu kriterde yalnızca yeterli bir derecelendirmeye yol açıyor. Yakıt tüketimi pek iyi olarak değerlendirilmezken, özellikle Türkiye'de üretilen lastiklerde sürdürülebilirlik yeterli görülüyor.
  • Der Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun erreicht nur ein befriedigendes Gesamtergebnis, was vor allem an seiner Trockenperformance liegt. Auf trockener Fahrbahn gibt er keine präzise Lenkrückmeldung, sodass es für den Fahrer schwierig ist, den Lenkwinkel für Kurven präzise einzustellen, was eine gute Bewertung verhindert. Auch sein Fahrverhalten im Grenzbereich wird als gerade befriedigend bewertet, obwohl er für seinen Bremsweg eine gute Bewertung erhält. Auf nasser Fahrbahn schneidet der Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun besser ab und sichert sich gute Werte bei Bremswegmessung und Aquaplaning-Resistenz, verpasst aber knapp eine gute Bewertung beim Fahrverhalten. Während das Fahrzeug auf der Strecke sicher gefahren werden kann, würden mehr Grip und Präzision seine Leistung verbessern. In Bezug auf die Umwelt erreicht der Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun nur eine befriedigende Bewertung. Er schneidet bei der prognostizierten Laufleistung und dem Verschleiß gut ab, aber sein Status als schwerster Reifen im Test führt in diesem Kriterium nur zu einer ausreichenden Bewertung. Sein Kraftstoffverbrauch wird gerade noch als gut bewertet und die Nachhaltigkeit, insbesondere für in der Türkei produzierte Reifen, wird als ausreichend eingestuft.
  • Le Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun obtient un résultat global satisfaisant, principalement en raison de ses performances sur sol sec. Sur sol sec, il ne fournit pas de retour de direction précis, ce qui rend difficile pour les conducteurs d'ajuster correctement l'angle de braquage dans les virages, ce qui ne lui permet pas d'obtenir une bonne note. Sa maniabilité à la limite est également jugée comme étant à peine satisfaisante, mais il reçoit une bonne note pour la distance de freinage. Sur sol mouillé, le Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun obtient de meilleurs résultats, obtenant de bonnes notes pour les mesures de distance de freinage et la résistance à l'aquaplaning, mais manque de peu une bonne note pour la maniabilité. Le véhicule peut certes être conduit en toute sécurité sur le circuit, mais une adhérence et une précision accrues amélioreraient ses performances. Sur le plan environnemental, le Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun n'obtient qu'une note satisfaisante. Il obtient de bons résultats pour le kilométrage prévu et l'usure, mais son statut de pneu le plus lourd du test ne lui vaut qu'une note adéquate dans ce critère. Sa consommation de carburant est à peine jugée bonne, et la durabilité, en particulier pour les pneus fabriqués en Turquie, est jugée adéquate.

  • Summary

    The Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun, despite being seven years old, showed mixed performance across various tests. Its strengths were in aquaplaning resistance and refinement, performing well in both curved and straight aquaplaning tests and offering good cabin noise reduction and bump absorption. However, the tyre struggled significantly in wet and dry performance tests. It ranked near the bottom in wet braking, cornering, and handling, demonstrating less grip than its competitors. Dry performance was also subpar, with the tyre finishing last in dry braking and sixth in dry handling. Despite its age suggesting it might have good fuel efficiency, the Ecorun surprisingly showed poor rolling resistance. The overall results indicate that while the tyre has some strong points, there is considerable room for improvement in key performance areas.

    Results

    The Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun achieved an overall score of 97.80%, priced at £98.65. It performed well in aquaplaning tests, ranking 3rd in curved aquaplaning (92.70%) and tied for 4th in straight aquaplaning (97.30%). The tyre also tied for 3rd in cabin noise (95.40%). However, it struggled in wet conditions, ranking 7th in wet braking (93.00%), 8th in wet handling (96.20%), and tied for 6th in wet cornering (98.5%). Dry performance was also weak, with 8th in dry braking (94.30%) and tied for 6th in dry handling (98.50%). The tyre ranked 7th in rolling resistance (87.20%), indicating poor fuel efficiency.

  • Özet

    Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun, yedi yaşında olmasına rağmen çeşitli testlerde karışık performanslar gösterdi. Güçlü yönleri suda kızaklama direnci ve inceliğiydi, hem virajlı hem de düz suda kızaklama testlerinde iyi performans gösterdi ve iyi kabin gürültüsü azaltma ve darbe emilimi sağladı. Ancak lastik, ıslak ve kuru performans testlerinde önemli ölçüde zorlandı. Islak frenleme, viraj alma ve yol tutuşunda en alt sıralarda yer aldı ve rakiplerinden daha az tutuş gösterdi. Kuru performans da vasattı; lastik kuru frenlemede sonuncu, kuru yol tutuşunda altıncı oldu. Yaşı iyi yakıt verimliliğine sahip olabileceğini düşündürse de Ecorun şaşırtıcı bir şekilde zayıf yuvarlanma direnci gösterdi. Genel sonuçlar, lastiğin bazı güçlü noktaları olmasına rağmen, temel performans alanlarında önemli iyileştirme alanı olduğunu gösteriyor.

    Sonuçlar

    Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun, 98,65 £ fiyatla %97,80'lik bir genel puan elde etti. Suda kızaklama testlerinde iyi bir performans göstererek virajlı suda kızaklamada 3. sırada (%92,70) ve düz suda kızaklamada 4. sırayı paylaştı (%97,30). Lastik ayrıca kabin gürültüsünde 3. sırada (%95,40) paylaştı. Ancak ıslak koşullarda zorlandı, ıslak frenlemede 7. sırada (%93,00), ıslak yol tutuşunda 8. sırada (%96,20) ve ıslak viraj almada 6. sırada (%98,5) paylaştı. Kuru zemin performansı da zayıftı; kuru frenlemede 8. sırada (%94,30) ve kuru yol tutuşunda 6. sırada (%98,50) paylaştı. Lastik yuvarlanma direncinde 7. sırada yer aldı (%87,20), bu da zayıf yakıt verimliliğini gösteriyor.

  • Zusammenfassung

    Der Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun zeigte trotz seines Alters von sieben Jahren in verschiedenen Tests eine gemischte Leistung. Seine Stärken lagen in der Aquaplaning-Resistenz und im Fahrverhalten. Er schnitt sowohl bei Aquaplaning-Tests in Kurven als auch auf gerader Strecke gut ab und bot eine gute Kabinengeräuschreduzierung und Stoßdämpfung. Bei Leistungstests auf Nässe und Trockenheit hatte der Reifen jedoch erhebliche Probleme. Er landete bei Nassbremsen, Kurvenverhalten und Handling auf den letzten Plätzen und zeigte weniger Grip als seine Konkurrenten. Auch die Leistung auf Trockenheit war unterdurchschnittlich: Beim Trockenbremsen belegte der Reifen den letzten und beim Trockenhandling den sechsten Platz. Obwohl sein Alter darauf schließen lässt, dass er eine gute Kraftstoffeffizienz aufweisen könnte, zeigte der Ecorun überraschenderweise einen schlechten Rollwiderstand. Die Gesamtergebnisse zeigen, dass der Reifen zwar einige Stärken hat, in wichtigen Leistungsbereichen jedoch erheblicher Verbesserungsbedarf besteht.

    Ergebnisse

    Der Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun erreichte eine Gesamtpunktzahl von 97,80 % und kostet 98,65 £. Er schnitt bei Aquaplaning-Tests gut ab und belegte den 3. Platz bei Kurven-Aquaplaning (92,70 %) und den geteilten 4. Platz bei Geradeaus-Aquaplaning (97,30 %). Der Reifen belegte auch den geteilten 3. Platz bei Kabinengeräuschen (95,40 %). Bei Nässe hatte er jedoch Probleme und belegte den 7. Platz beim Nassbremsen (93,00 %), den 8. Platz beim Nasshandling (96,20 %) und den geteilten 6. Platz bei Nasskurven (98,5 %). Die Trockenleistung war ebenfalls schwach und erreichte den 8. Platz beim Trockenbremsen (94,30 %) und den geteilten 6. Platz beim Trockenhandling (98,50 %). Der Reifen belegte beim Rollwiderstand (87,20 %) den 7. Platz, was auf eine schlechte Kraftstoffeffizienz hindeutet.

  • Résumé

    Malgré ses sept ans d'âge, le Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun a affiché des performances mitigées lors des différents tests. Ses points forts ont été la résistance à l'aquaplaning et le raffinement, avec de bonnes performances dans les tests d'aquaplaning en courbe et en ligne droite et une bonne réduction du bruit dans l'habitacle et une bonne absorption des chocs. Cependant, le pneu a eu beaucoup de mal dans les tests de performance sur sol sec et humide. Il s'est classé près du bas du classement en freinage sur sol mouillé, en virage et en maniabilité, démontrant moins d'adhérence que ses concurrents. Les performances sur sol sec ont également été inférieures à la moyenne, le pneu terminant dernier au freinage sur sol sec et sixième en maniabilité sur sol sec. Malgré son âge suggérant qu'il pourrait avoir une bonne efficacité énergétique, l'Ecorun a étonnamment montré une faible résistance au roulement. Les résultats globaux indiquent que, bien que le pneu ait quelques points forts, il reste une marge de progression considérable dans des domaines de performance clés.

    Résultats

    Le Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun a obtenu un score global de 97,80 %, au prix de 98,65 £. Il s'est bien comporté lors des tests d'aquaplaning, se classant 3e en aquaplaning en courbe (92,70 %) et 4e à égalité en aquaplaning en ligne droite (97,30 %). Le pneu s'est également classé 3e en bruit de cabine (95,40 %). Cependant, il a eu du mal sur sol mouillé, se classant 7e en freinage sur sol mouillé (93,00 %), 8e en tenue de route sur sol mouillé (96,20 %) et 6e à égalité en virage sur sol mouillé (98,5 %). Les performances sur sol sec ont également été faibles, avec 8e place en freinage sur sol sec (94,30 %) et 6e à égalité en tenue de route sur sol sec (98,50 %). Le pneu s'est classé 7e en résistance au roulement (87,20 %), ce qui indique une faible efficacité énergétique.

Questions and Answers for the Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun

2018-12-31 - I’m looking to replace a set of bridgestones which came with my Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo from new. It seems to be an awkward tyre size at 215/40/17. I was hoping for all seasons, but there’s only a choice of 2. So I decided on summer tyres. I’ve sort of narrowed it down to the Falken ZIEX ZE310 and the Hankook Ventus Prime 3. Which would you recommend ?

Both are excellent tyres, getting great reviews. The Hankook might have the edge in wear, but overall they're very similar tyres.


2019-08-05 - Is the Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun suitable for a SUV 4x4 which is only used on road? My car is a 2014 ford Kuga 2.0 titanium powershift. 235 x 55 R17 tyres

As long as you meet the load index required by your SUV, there's no reason not to use the ZE310.


2019-09-18 - I have a Golf 7 1.4TSi 122BHP with 205/55 X16 German OEM Dunlop Blue Response tyres. These are internally noisy and have very soft sidewalls leading to sloppy handling. I am proposing to chage them to other 205/55 X16V tyres. Falken ZE310, Hankook Prime 3 K125 and Bridgestone T005 have been suggested as possible replacements. The Falkens have a very low external noise performance but I not convinced that this is a reliable guide to the internal noise. I had a very bad expeiuence with German OEM Dunlop tyres on a new BMW 316i in the past and I wonder if the Blue Response tyres are of the same ilk? i.e. poor OEM tyres. Internal noise & wet grip are the most important parameters for the replacements and I am willing to trade off ride comfort with slightly stiffer sidewalls. Any comments you have would be much appreciated. Many thanks for the most helpful web site.

Unfortunately all modern tyres have soft sidewalls as it reduces rolling resistance. You are correct in thinking there isn't necessarily a correlation between external and internal noise, but there is often a link. I have no personal experience with the ZE310 but I have seen tests note it's a good handling tyre for its class, so maybe worth a try! One thing worth remembering is that stiffer sidewalls will transmit more vibration through to the chassis increasing internal noise.


2020-09-17 - I have a VW Passat 59 plate and need new tyres. Should I go for the Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun or the Falken Azenis FK510? Both look like good mid range tyres and recommended by your website.

If your priority is comfort, the ZE310, if it's sporty driving, the FK510 is the correct tyre.


2020-11-07 - The group test of the 205/55 X 16 tyres was really good. I have a Golf 7 1.4 with this size of tyre and am contemplating a change to Falken. VW fitted 205/55 X16 91H tyres to this car in late 2014. Could you please tell me why 94V Falken ZIEX ZE310 tyres were used in the test? Did Falken recommend them or were they the only ones available in this size? The 94V version is available locally at a very good price. Thanks BJ

This was the recommended size by Falken, but the 91H version has done well in other tests too.


2022-10-23 - Are these a good bet for a Lexus NX300h in 225/60/18?

If you can find the correct size and load rating I'm sure they'd be a very good match.


2022-12-29 - I’m looking for a the most sporty tyre in the not very popular 205/50r15 size, so that means no Michelin/Continental/Goodyear or even Maxxis Primetra. I’ve narrowed it down to the Falken ZE310 Ecorun and the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2. I’m not worried about noise or comfort, just subjective handling. Which would you plump for?

I've not tried the Hankook but I would never recommend the ZE310 for a sporty feel.


2024-06-07 - What can you tell us, if anything, about the replacement for this? The upcoming ZE320. Cheers!

As of yet there is no official information about the ZE320, and it's not yet appearing in the EPREL database.

Given 68% while driving a Citroën C2 VTS (205/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
Brought these in 205/50/R15 to fit my new "15x7 alloys (5.9kg per alloy), and in this review I'm comparing them to my old Yokohama Advan Fleva V701, Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance, and Avon ZV7's in 195/45/R16 on "16x7 alloys (9.7kg per alloy), so bare in mind this slightly skews my comparison.

For context, I brought lightweight flow-formed alloys as the TU5JP4S engine in my C2, though a brilliant, 8k-revving NA bundle of fun that it is, struggles with low-end grunt, and cutting approximately 8kg of unsprung weight on the driven-wheels, and 16kg total is a significant upgrade on a small ~1000kg car. 205/50/R15 after careful consideration was the perfect dimension for my car, though I'm disappointed that this is a rare size especially for premium performance-orientated tyres, with only dated Continental PremiumContact 2's, Hankook Ventus Prime 3's, and Yokohama Advan Fleva V701's being the only respectable options in this size, though for some reason this size is 30% more expensive than those identical models in similarly sized 195/50/R15, 195/55/R15, or 195/45/R16 accordingly...

...which leads me to the Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun tyres; relatively recent design, V-rated, and a reasonable price tag of ~£90 per corner fitted; virtually identical in price to the same offering in 195/55/R15 and 195/45/R16, as it should be given the dimensions are really similar. This honest pricing combined with it being a modern design/compound is what sold me, despite it being a Premium Summer Touring tyre as opposed to UHP.

300 miles in, I think these are an excellent 'control tyre' in the sense that they are very neutral tyres in all fronts; they don't give off a 'wow-factor' in any given category of measure, but at the same time there's nothing that makes me think these are terrible tyres at all, which in itself is a complement. I can't see anyone being disappointed in these, especially at the price-point, whether you're an old grandma in an MPV seeking comfort, fuel efficiency, and safety, or a spirited driver (myself) in a warm/hot-hatch seeking performance. They're very predictable tyres which is good for any kind of driver.

They are very quiet and smooth on bumpy surfaces and motorway driving as a strength, however I would've preferred a stiffer sidewall as they offer very little sensation through the steering wheel, though once your senses adjust to it, you can feel the sidewalls twisting between the road surface and the rims when quick-flicking the steering wheel, giving a delay between steering input and direction change. For a spirited-driver, these tyres reward smooth, Prost-like steering inputs, and as long as you drive like that, you can carry pretty impressive speed in the bends, though it must be said there is more confidence-inspiring tyres out there. You can push them in the wet without feeling unsafe in the slightest. Naturally, going to a bigger aspect ratio tyre means a loss of steering response is expected, but I do think there is realistic room for improvement in this area. With that said, these are classed as a 'Premium Summer Tyre' rather than UHP, but I had little choice in this size. I would've brought the Yoko's again but I don't think paying 30% more for the same tyre in an extremely similar size is fair pricing.

On another note, can premium tyre manufacturers stop ignoring the demand for UHP tyres in sizes for old school hot-hatches and neo-classic cars? We all know that modern performance cars don't offer the engagement that old analogue cars do, yet modern performance tyres have come a long way over the past 15-20 years. A set of PS5's or Eagle Assymetric 6's in my size would be a dream, though of course in a proportionate price compared to the other sizes offered (take note Yokohama)

TLDR: Not a bad tyre but not a special tyre either, adequate enough on all fronts. Respectfully priced for what it is. Won't disappoint nor wow anyone. A safe choice of tyre to avoid disappointment.

Given 73% while driving a Jeep compass (225/55 R18) on mostly country roads for 8,000 easy going miles
Bought the Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun for the Jeep Compass 1.4 170hp 4x4 2019. Driving in this car is not sporty by any means so was looking for a mid range tyre for the daily commute. Drove around 10k kilometers and overall impressed especially by the aquaplaning results and wet weather handling. Always felt in full control even through heavy rainfall. Live in a mountain region so a lot of B road driving and poor quality roads, the tyre was pretty comfortable and more geared for an easy commute rather then more aggressive driving, going faster you are always in control however just does not have the grip. The tyre size and car itself do not help however previous hankoook ventus prime 3 felt better when pushed. Wear is average, a fair bit of difference in depth between the rear and front, got to take into account the 1.8t car weight does not help. I would recommend the tyre due to good price and safe handling in wet for a daily commute.

The tires lastet about 42.000km before they were replaced because one of them blew. I dont see that as the tires fault because its likely that I have damaged the sidewall on a forest road myself.

As a road tire, they are good vcalue for money. At the time when one of them failed, they had about 4.5mm of tread left, so they were not worn yet. The wet grip went a little worse at around 6mm, however it was not too terrible, still better than my winter tires (Fulda Kristall Montero 3)
Dry grip was excelent, I have never managed to break them loose. However, I am a relaxed driving, with spirited driving you probably can.

As mentioned, these tires were also driven on forest/logging roads. As any summer tire I know, this works kinda decent in the dry, but depending on the soil, its like ice skating in the wet. However as this is not what the tire is intended to do, I ignored this when rating this tire.

Noise and comfore were both absolutly fine, the car was very stable when driving on the autobahn (usually Cruise controll at 120km/h) Cant say much about higher speeds because I dont go fast very often.

Fuel consumption was ok, however tire tests indicate that this is not the most efficient tire you can get.

I would have bought these again, however they were not avalibale fast enough. They were replaced with Pirelli Cinturato P1, wich are significantly louder inside the car.

The fuel consumption is high and they wear fast. After about 14k miles they have 3mm left.

Just had a fresh set of these fitted after I wore through the previous one.
Yes, this is my second set of these. I liked them so much I bought them again.

Phenomenal value for money.
Good grip in the dry.
Great grip in the wet.
Comfortable yet reasonably sporty and good dynamics.

These tyres are very interesting indeed. They have good grip and are very smooth and comfortable. They feel like soft running trainers have been fitted your car. They are certainly not 'Track day tyres' The sidewalls are soft and they squish, this gives plenty of feedback to suggest you are finding the limit.

But for tuning in HARD on a race track they are NOT the kind of tyre you want. For spirited driving on the roads however they are a perfect compromise of grip comfort and feel. I would recommend them to lower mileage users in modestly sporty vehicles. They work perfectly on my standard 325i E46:
If your car is modified with uprated suspension and brakes you should be spending more than twice this amount on a road / track day tyres.

If you go on the motorway all day go and buy some horrible hard tyres and don't buy these and moan. They are too soft for daily motorway use and people who expect 10000 mile on a set. I hope this is helpful.

Positive: Safe tyre in dry and wet roads with good handling in wet and high milage.
Negative: Confort, dry handling with poor feedback.
