Falken ZE 914 - User reviews

Hi, I bought a tire encouraged by the positive comments. I drove a few thousand kilometers, and I think that these are tires with a really high shelf. Like do not deviate from Continantali quality or Bridgestonów, which in my opinion are now among the best on the market. To this group I include now also Falkeny. They are very, very quiet, even at considerable speeds. I can easily recommend.

Considering the price (270zł) in this size, I'm very pleased. You'd better behave than Firehawki u90, and comparable to the ContiSportContact. By far, however, are more reliable w / in the wet. I recommend!

Falken ZE 914 are great tyres, they stick to the road well, disperse water as good, and absorb shocks better than the majority of tyres in the size 225/40R18, the car also doesn't have the tendency to swerve out of the ruts. I have a comparison to Michelin Pilot Sport 3 and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx, so I can rate Falken ZE 914 very high - definitely higher than Dunlop. The only thing I have objections against is the rim protector which doesn't fulfill its function well - my wheel has already experienced the results.

I use my Falken ZE 914 tyres in quite a pawerful car - 218 BHP and 500 Nm. Previously, I had Dunlop tyres and Michelin Pilot Primacy ones, and I thought there are no better tyres. It turns out that Falken ZE 914 not only matches Michelins with their grip, which is important for me, but also has harder shoulders than Michelin and due to that it behaves better during aggressive driving. Of course, the driving comfort on bumpy roads is a bit worse, but I have Run Flat tyres as my winter set, so after chenging to Falken it's still better. I only did ca. 700 miles on my tyres, so I don't know what will be their wear. However, I am very pleased with Falken ZE 914 as they grip the car nicely on both dry and wet. At such a price there's probably no better tyre with such parameters as Falken ZE 914.

205/50R17 is a quite expensive size, but Falken ZE 914 has a decent price and for such, the tyres are worth buying. Generally I think they are for a mixed use - to go for a vacation with your family, etc. For such use, Falken ZE 914 is much better than eg. Nokian, Michelin, Bridgestone and Pirelli. They have to be "driven off" and adjust themselves, first miles may seem a bit rough, like on premium tyres. They are very reliable on wet and in ruts, and I can't complain about anything on dry. Very predictable in sharp corners, they don't lose traction all of the sudden. I definitely recommend Falken ZE 914 tyres, I also decided to get winter set of Falken tyres - just to have a matching set. I personally am satisfied with them.

After world-record-rapid wear of my previous Michelin Primacy HP tyres I decided to get tyres from another brand. I did ca. 3500 miles on Falken ZE 914 tyres (on various road types) and I can say they behave very well during fast driving, emergency braking, they have superb rolling resistance on both dry and wet pavement. In my opinion, Falken ZE 914 not only match the premium tyres with their capabilities, but they are also way cheaper. I recommend them with a clear conscience.

Falkren ZE 914 are very good tyres, they behave in the corners, during starting and braking very well. My mileage on them is low at the moment, but I can say I don't see any signs of wear. The car is small but powerful, and it has automatic transmission. After fitting Falken ZE 914, even my wife happened to have a rush start at the traffic lights.

I bought Falken ZE 914 tyres, as previously I used their precedessor, the ZE 912, which were really great. At first, the tyres were a bit hard and loud (ca. 200 miles), but then they turned out to be absolutely sensational. When it comes to behaviour on water, it's perfect (better then the 912), and on dry it's as good. I did ca. 1500 miles on these tyres (size is 225/45R17, fitted to a Skoda Superb). Also, Falken ZE 914 have a great quality-price ratio. I recommend them even to most demanding drivers. Who will try and use Falken ZE 914 once, then they will not say goodbye to this brand too soon.

I buy this kind of tire for a few years. Always good and cheap. Oponeo Service completes my satisfaction.

Good tyres, good in wet, dry, but not as such on wet mud. Made my car go into a hedge, other than that I was happy with the purchase
