Falken ZE 914 - User reviews

I've had quite a few Falkens in the past and these are no different to the usual quality that I've had. When we bought this car it was shod with Michelin's on front and Continental's on rear this had the entertaining effect of making the car quite unstable in the wet, especially straight line braking. Since the Falkens were fitted the car is a different animal altogether, she really holds the line in corners and feels very sure footed on fast winding country roads. The wet grip is very good when driving enthusiastically and again feels sure footed. Now I dare say that the car itself does handle well but these tyres definitely compliment the suspension and chassis. Some reviews mention lots of road noise, I have to be honest my car seems quieter on these Falkens than my last Michelin's and Continentals. Overall I have no problem recommending these tyres to anyone.

I do over 15000 a year and they are standing up well so far. If you drive agressivly you will shorten the life of the tyre. That said you will shorten any make of tyres life with aggressive driving. I'm an intermediate driver and so far there are wearing well.

this tyre is a brilliant option for cars like the CRV I have used other brands, and none have been as good as the Falkens, will use them again, as well as order them from oponeo, who have also delivered excellent service

Tire sensational in both wet and dry conditions. For this lasted - 20 tkm virtually no wear and at the same time is really quiet. I bought tires for the price of insurance - insurance actions damaged the tire after 3 days I had a new - recommend !!!

Tires very well stick to the road, relatively low rolling resistance, but fairly hard drive highway recommend the wet EXCELLENT and of minimal use as a fairly aggressive style of driving and the insurance package - EFFECTIVE and actions damaged the tire on metal lying on the road - within a few days due to security-FALKEN tires from a received a new tire.

or bought these tires for its price and initially I was very indecisive comparing them to other tires but I could only get me the accounts in your pocket and take what I could, just made the order after a few days I had in the house, once mounted had always my doubts but by walking I realized that I could not see any difference from brigiston that I rode in fact they were better, then made a trip or in P oland and in two weeks or done about 5000 miles and I have to say really very reliable both wet asphalt in the hot stick to the ground, in Austria with all the curves that did the car was glued to the ground, I have to say one last thing these tires and especially this site and nothing short of luxury are serious and good products and excellent recommend them to everyone I will buy this brand would say forever and ever

During 15y.o. rode most of the available branded tires and looking at their price in my opinion there is no better tires. As for the failure is hard for me to give an objective opinion, drove them nine thousand. km and hard to have a new tire damage.

I highly recommend Falken ZE 914. I had a lot of different tyres before, always from the top shelf. In my opinion, Falken beats Michelin, Goodyear and Dunlop. I tested them with emergency braking on dry and wet roads. The car stops immediately in place. Even in the mud they managed nicely. They are very durable and resistant to abrasion. Fuel consumption in general hasn’t changed so as for me they are very economical. My Mazda at an average speed of 87m/h burns around 6l. On the highways at speeds up to 150m/h it feels like the car is flying, and in the event of a fast braking doesn’t lose control but instantly stops. From April to September 2014 I did well over 20 thousand miles using them. I haven’t noticed any significant tread wear. I drive in the city and on international routes. The only slight minus is that the tyre noise is noticeable. As for me, this is not a problem because a moderately loud music eliminates this drawback.
