Falken ZE 912 - User reviews

Sort:

3.08
Falken Ziex ZE 912 tempts with a low price, but this model is not a sensational one. Its grip on dry surface is OK, a bit worse when braking. In the corners the grip is also not bad, but despite the low profile and a reinforced bead it could be better. When it comes to driving on wet, it's not so great. Once I even had an unpleasant situation in heavy rainwhen the road was covered with a layer of water (a few millimeters, the entire surface covered equally), and the tyre lost its grip after hitting the brake pedal hard (car behaved like a boat ^^ ) but after releasing the pedal the car regained its grip. On my previous tyres (Uniroyal RainSport 2 in the same size) I have never experienced a phenomenon like that. Generally, the tyre doesn't wear off in a quick pace (about 1.5 mm last season), but I decided to fit them to rear and put my Uniroyals on the front (despite the fact they're older and have a softer sidewall, giving the impression of slidind tyre). I needed tyres quickly and I think that less demanding users should be satisfied with Falken ZE 912's performance, but I think it's worth to fit something decent to maximize the safety.

The tire is really durable. He rides a negative for some time and there is no sign "ciachania". The only thing it can be slippery tire for dry conditions and during a fairly strong bend the entire car can escape a few cm both forward and reverse. But I emphasize fast and tight curve. Braking on a slippery or wet is OK.

The tyre wears down in record time, less than a year, less effective in the corners, in general I do not recommend it, except what a total shit.

The tyres are OK but in the first set I bought there were two tyres that vibrated. There was no problem with replacing them to new ones, but the new ones also weren't drawback-free. They vibrate slightly less but still do. On tyres of one of the leading tyre manufacturers I had before such problem did not occur. The wheels were checked, balanced, etc. Nothing helped. Personally, I regret the purchase. I wanted to save some money, and as a result I didn't.

I've been using these tyres for the second season now, generally it's no revelation, it's an average tyre without drawbacks, on wet it's terrible, just a little bit of water flowing across the road and the car is out of control like on ice, so definitely they are not suitable for wet (the car is a VW Passat B5 Variant), Previosly I had Nexen N3000s and I haven't noticed such phenomenons and I thought that Falken ZE 912s will be better, because before I had Falken FK 451s and there were no problems on wet surface.

Falken ZE 912s are good and not expensive tyres for cheaper cars. I can recommend with a clear conscience.

Often with the addition of gas shall be accompanied by ESP, cornering and slippery conditions the car is able to move a few centimeters. As for me, this is very dangerous tire. The tire is very durable. I would recommend the Sunday drivers. Regards
