Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 82 reviews
Overall, drivers rate the Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun as a strong value all-rounder, most often praising confident dry and wet grip, stable handling, and good resistance to aquaplaning for the price. Many also report respectable longevity with even wear when rotated and aligned properly. The most recurring drawbacks are higher cabin/road noise and a firmer, sometimes harsh ride on rough surfaces. A smaller but repeated concern is that wet grip/braking can become less reassuring as the tire wears (and on very smooth wet surfaces for some users).

Good tires for the money, had them on a Mondeo 2.0 TDCi with 140 PS. I used the 205/50/17 93W XL.
Used them 4 summers in Eastern-Europe, no problem at all. They could still go another summer :)

I drive an 08 vectra too 150 hp SRI. The grip of these tires were good in all weather conditions. But had to lower the pressures front and back as the car was bouncing off every bump in the road. From 32 F & 30 R down to 27 F & 24 R. Just so the car would have the same feeling that I would have had from other tires GY.F1s. I found that they would change direction on every change of road surface or white lines. And would follow the ruttes. But the general grip was good. The were wasn't very good.
11000 on the fronts and they done. 14000 on the rears so far and still have 50% left. Just put Hankook V12,evo2s. Running them at 32Psi and the car is running true and smother similar to the GY. F1. A2s enjoying the way it feels again.

These tires are a a good solid buy. Good road holding in dry and wet with very good wear rate.
Comfortable and reasonably quiet. I had no qualms whatsoever in driving quickly under any whether conditions. Unfortunatley the price on this tire has increased dramatically since I bought mine

Awful tire , even driven normally without going crazy you get definetly crazy with its wear did not even last 7,000 km (4300 miles ) on the rear (bmw e36) , good price for a set but absolutely not worth it , cant afford change tires every other month , other than that it has pretty good grip in wet and dry .

Had these on my slightly modified Suzuki Swift Sport for about 3 or 4 months and I have to say I'm very pleased so far 😊. I'm running BC coilovers and wider rims with a slighty wider offset to give a wider track.

Coming from Bridgestone re002, ze914 is better in most aspects except in the dry and steering response as it is not a performance tire. It does slip a little bit on hard bends. It's been 16,000km in the front and the wear looks good, I think they really last but I found them chipped off a little may be due to soft compound. Good all rounder tire but not for extreme usage. Great tire for money!

These are amongst the very best Tires I have ever used generally.
They grip in the dry as well or better than any I have had, they are similarly good in the wet. They are even not bad, for a summer tire, in the snow! My only small grip is they are sensitive to dfferent road surfaces and will sometimes pull one way or the other making it feel like pressures are uneven- a sort of tramlining effect. On the motorway they are safe and secure but small adjustments need to be made unlike a few alternatives I have had. I do have a small question mark over breaking grip - small as the car always stops safely even in emergency - but a few times I have been surprised to hear the ABS kick in. Considering the price I would not complain and even if the price was more I would still happily have them over the old Continental PC2 and maybe even the new PC5 - they seem tighter and crisper than the Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 - just to mention 2 good tires I have owned. My car is dubbed an old man's car but if I choose it can be far from that as its very responsive with these tires

Nice grip, specially in dry roads... Very good driving at windy mountain roads, specially for my c5 sw, which is long and heavy, but automatic and reprogrammed ecu up to 170 hp and very high torque.
Unfortunately they were very loud and the worse is that in the front, they lasted less than 15.000 KMS and in the rear I doubt to achieve 20.000 KMS.
I have been using Avon zv5 in my previous car, a Xantia activa reprogrammed to 145 hp, and definitely I will go back to them, those are really good tires for the money paid, incredible grip at dry and wet and very long lasting (40.000 KMS) ...
Won't buy this Falken again... I can't afford to change tires every 6 months... Too much! Bye bye, Falken!
