View Full Test >>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 tire size at 215/40/17. I was hoping for all seasons, but there’s only a choice of 2. So I decided on summer tires. 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 tires, getting great reviews. The Hankook might have the edge in wear, but overall they're very similar tires.
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 tires
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 tires. These are internally noisy and have very soft sidewalls leading to sloppy handling. I am proposing to chage them to other 205/55 X16V tires. 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 tires on a new BMW 316i in the past and I wonder if the Blue Response tires are of the same ilk? i.e. poor OEM tires. 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 tires 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 tire 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 tires. Should I go for the Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun or the Falken Azenis FK510? Both look like good mid range tires and recommended by your website.
If your priority is comfort, the ZE310, if it's sporty driving, the FK510 is the correct tire.
2020-11-07 - The group test of the 205/55 X 16 tires was really good. I have a Golf 7 1.4 with this size of tire and am contemplating a change to Falken. VW fitted 205/55 X16 91H tires to this car in late 2014. Could you please tell me why 94V Falken ZIEX ZE310 tires 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.
