Drivers generally describe the Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun as an excellent value summer touring tire with strong wet-weather safety (including aquaplaning resistance) and confident dry grip, often punching above its price class. A very common highlight is low cabin noise and an overall smooth, secure feel, with many users also reporting good wear life over high mileage. The most recurring drawbacks are higher rolling resistance (fuel consumption increase for some cars) and a softer/less precise steering feel that can disappoint more performance-focused drivers, with a subset also finding the ride firmer on rough roads.

I would normally hold off from doing a review so soon after a just fitting these tires, but these tires are quite impressive for the money.
I managed to get 4 tires for around £290, which is cheaper than some of the higher priced "budget" tires.
The road noise has reduced significantly from my older tires, ride comfort is decent even in a 24-year-old fiat with lowering springs.
Road handling is fine, I've not pushed them to their limits just yet, but I'm quite confident that they wouldn't let me down.
This tire had only 7mm tread depth from new, compared with the normal 8mm. In fact, I had the tire fitted at the same time as the MOT, and the examiner recorded 7mm tread depth and "84% tread remaining" even though it was brand new. On that basis the tire is 16% less value than an 8mm new depth.

Overal good tire:
Wet handling very well
Dry handling just good
Brake distance nice
The only very bad thing is that I replace the tires for winter ones and when I calculate the depth was 5mm new when I buy them 7,8mm
So after 6 months and 10.000 thousand km mostly on highway

this is the third tire in my car
- stock : dunlop enasave
- 2nd tire : pilot sport 4
so i was looking for primacy 4 because it seems to fit my needs. pilot sport 4 is a very good tire but unfortunately its too stiff for horrible road condition here.
but finding a michelin here is just so difficult and after looking around i ended up with falken ze310 that cost way less than my budget before.
- rolling resistance are pretty bad. who cares about this
- not exactly comfortable tire, pretty similar to my previous pilot sport.
+ this thing is just awesome in the rain and water puddle. its actually made our journey very safe
+ its very quiet tire, surprise considering my previous falken ze912 are noisy.
+ very good road feedback and responsive handling for touring tire
+ dry braking and grip are pretty good
to be honest my wife expect more comfortable tire than pilot sport 4, but this tire failed in that aspect.
overall i like this tire, its cheap but its actually good for someone who often replaced their tire before the thread is gone. i barely put a lot of miles into my car.
Bought these tires several years ago for my Leon FR. They were recommended to me by a trusted source and i haven't looked back. Brilliant tire. I've so far put around 30k miles on them and they are just starting to get into the window of where i'd start to consider replacing them. Would certainly buy again. Wet and dry grip are both excellent, i'm yet to have any doubt in the tires ability to grip the road.
This tire is one of the quietest I had. It dispels the notion that comfort tires do not have good wet grip. Both dry and wet grip for this tire are excellent, especially in the wet where it shines. Grip is good even though going through puddles of water at 80-90km/h. To top it off, the price of Falken ZIEX ZE310 ECORUN are cheaper than comparable tires.
I changed all four tires to these Falken.
I immediately noticed three things. 1. They are very very quiet. 2. The ride is very noticeable better than the tires I removed (avon). 3 the rolling resistance must be low, because the car rolls very easily with these fitted
I really like this tire on a factory Porsche 924S in size of 195/65r15. Performs better in the dry at cornering, braking and steering response than Continental PremiumContact 6 that I also tried.
Feels like driving on rails in the dry.. Cornering in the wet can be challenging though with this tire.. at least on an oldtimer Porsche..
These have good grip on both dry and wet tarmac. The car feels planted, almost pressed down on the road. Steering and handling are slightly vague but solid overall. Road feedback is good without being uncomfortable. They're extremely silent, made my Civic feel like a luxury car. However, the high rolling resistance is a dealbreaker and I'm getting rid of them. Fuel consumption is similar to studded tires and there's a choking feel when accelerating, the engine is clearly working harder than normal.
Used to have Avon Zv5 on the fronts, those were moved to the rear and these fitted to front end. Instantly noticed much less road noise at 50-70mph. Enough to turn the speakers down. Other than that on the comfort front I couldn't feel much else different but I do have higher profile tires than most would.
On the grip front from what I can tell on a old zafira on a couple of b roads the grip was much better and turn in was sharper which i expected given reviews and the tires they were replacing.
Haven't had a chance to try in the wet yet.
Definitely would recommend over cheap eco tires especially since they're only a couple quid more. Was able to get them mail order for £40 each and don't feel like I'm missing anything vs more expensive tires. Get them for a daily or if you've got a car that you don't feel the need to put Primacy 4's or EfficientGrip 2 tires on, plus you won't have to spend almost double doing so.
