Falken ZIEX ZE320

Drive a full set for about 3000km, mixed Romania roads with highways.
They are silent vs Firestone Roadhawk I used before these.

These tyres have given good grip both wet and dry. The steering response is better than other previous brands. So far they are lasting well and with the added advantage of an accidental damage guarantee offer great value for money. I will be buying these again when they have worn out.

Amazing comfort and grip

My Corolla Hybrid Sedan 2023 came with Falken Sincera SN832B from factory. This was my first contact with this brand (look for my review). I was so happy with them and from the brand positive reviews from others that i fitted the newer model SN110 to my Yaris hybrid and i was pleased too (look for my review). Then this summer and after 30.000 km (they easily can last 10.000km more), i decided to put the all new ZE320. The first impressions were not so good. There was a permanent high pitch humming noise to every surface from the moment that i fitted them! This was the reason that i changed them so early. Maybe with a conventional petrol engine the noise can be hidden but with my hybrid the noise was very loud! Also the tire felt ...hollow. I mean when the car pass over imperfections of the road, the sound was not pleasant but like there was not so much material in them. I think they wanted to make it very light and they succeed as the rolling resistance was very low! I lifted the foot from the pedal and the car kept going and going. This is a touring sport tyre but 70% on the sport side. You can feel confidence with them when cornering in a spirited mood as they reminded me my previous Mazda MPS 3! So not a balanced tyre but a sportier one. Dry and wet were excellent. As for the comfort not so much. Yes they feel like they glide on the road but again the feeling is not good as they read the micro imperfections of the road and this ruined the zen style of my hybrid car. Conclusion: The tires are excellent for those that have sport cars or they want a touring but on the sporty side tyre for their vehicle. For hybrids is a big NO! I changed them with Michelin Primacy 5 that suits way better to the character of my hybrid car (i will review this tyre soon).

Have fitted new types twice the the front of my vw touran. Both times have only cover 8000 miles???

Recently replaced all four tyres on a 2014 Nissan Note 1.2DIG-S that I have recently acquired. The vehicle previously had a mix of cheap Chinese brand tyres [of which two were quite worn and two had had previous puncture repairs] Used a local independent tyre fitting shop who have good reviews and chose mid-range Falken Ziex ZE320. These appear to be a good mid-range choice [so far] Noise levels are definitely lower and grip/handling in both wet and dry conditions has improved over the previously fitted tyres. I have used these both in normal local driving and some longer distance motorway drives and some driving on rural roads in Devon. Advertised tyre ratings for this tyre are 'C' for fuel economy, 'A' for wet grip and noise levels at 68dB.
As this is an initial review, I haven't commented on wear as it's too early to comment really but I thought it was worth putting up a review as this is a relatively new model of Falken tyre only being released in Summer 2024.

Use this set to replace my Goodyear efficient performance 2. the dry grip is impressive when compare to the Goodyear. been under heavy rain a few times and the wet grip is comparable with the Goodyear. However the fuel consumption is significantly worse then Goodyear with a motorway fuel consumption from ~64 mpg to 60mpg
