Falken ZE 912 - User reviews

Wondered a long time and I do not regret the purchase. At this price revelation, tyres ultra quiet, no problems with balancing, very nicely cushioned, high ride comfort. I am very pleased. I bought it because I had a winter falkeny HS439 and were really great, very quiet and stable, never problems on the road with these tyres.

I fitted Fqalken ZE 912s to the front (two for the rear are already fitted and waiting) and I have no objections to them - in terms of traction on both dry and wet they easily catch up to more expensive Yokohama Advan Sport 103s and Nitto 555s, which are not offered on our market. Good handling in corners, no sign of nervousness or a tendency to skidding. Their appearance is also good, certainly not spectacular, but it gives a sense of confidence.

I use Falken ZE 912s in summer only, so the description of behaviour on snow and ice is a misunderstanding. Generally, they're "economic" tyres, but their behavior, appearance or characteristics doesn't differ much from "premium" tyres. In my case I can compare them to my previous Dunlop SP Sport 01s, Falkens definitely win when it comes to behaviour in ruts, there is no phenomenon of "swerving" to the sides when driving through ruts at high speed, as seen often on our roads. It's their great advantage! When it comes to abrasion, it's still too early for me to assess, but I don't see any signs of wear and the tyre grips the road well. In this aspect, it also beats Dunlops.

Hard-resistant rubber curbs, holes, etc. Great suppress inequalities hold in the corners beautifully. I recommend!

I use these tyres on a Volvo 850 T5R, 240 HP. At the beginning they were great, I felt significant improvement, when compared to Kumho Ecsta SPT U31. I'm a demanding driver, and the tyres must be OK. And it was until thet tyres feathered after 8500 miles. Noise is so annoying that I can not put up with it anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to change them into Yokohama S.drives. Generally the grip is very good, no matter of the surface is wet or dry. Starting and braking is superb. They have to warm up a bit - they stop vibrating after a few miles. I mean that after the night the trad is hard, and after a bit more aggressive drive fingertips stick to the tyres :). they're hard, abut it's "thanks" to XL index - reinforced tyres. Generally they're OK. If it wasn't for their feathering! For me, it's a serious drawback.

Very interesting tread and to the asymmetric? The tyre offers a high level of grip on fast and tight curves. Wet surface does not cause any problem, I personally did not feel the difference between wet and dry. A drawback is the high level of tyre noise and a tendency to get stuck with a sharp braking.

I bought Falken ZE 912s with some disbelief, previously I had Fulda Carat Exelero tyres and I have to admit that the Fuldas don't stand a chance when compared to the Falkens. On Fuldas the car swerved in ruts and on Falkens it didn't. Behaviour on wet is very good, the tyre allows full control of the car. The only drawbacks are the price and too high abrasion. Apart from that, for summer 2011 I will definitely purchase these tires in size 205/45R16 again.

By purchasing these tires for a long time I hesitated because I did not know the brand. After much deliberation I decided to take a chance and I'm very happy. The tires stick to the road well even at high speeds and cornering too quickly can come and not be afraid that we will lose control of the vehicle. Przejeździłem on them all season and can not be seen to be even a little worn. Therefore, without any hesitation I can recommend them to anyone because for me are amazing. RECOMMEND THESE TIRES BECAUSE HE REALLY WORTH TO BUY
