In this comparison review, we look at two popular summer tyres: the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun and the Firestone Roadhawk. Both have been tested extensively, allowing us to provide an objective verdict based on data from several tyre tests.
The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, made in TR, is a touring sub-type summer tyre. In our website rating, this tyre achieved an impressive score of 85%. It excels particularly in dry handling, longitudinal aquaplaning, comfort, and wet braking, as revealed in the Autobild test. Spectacularly, this tyre, provided by Falken, placed 6th in a field of 51 tyres and 10th out of 16 tyres in the ADAC test. However, it shows slight weaknesses in efficiency and sustainability.
On the other hand, the Firestone Roadhawk is another impressive summer tyre. It scores 72% in our website rating, marking slightly lower than the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun. However, the Roadhawk triumphs in dry handling, wet handling, and wet side guide, earning the 3rd position in Autobild's test involving 51 tyres and then placing 5th out of 16 tyres in the ADAC test. The tyre, produced by Firestone, performs well in dry driving behavior, safety, and wet braking, but has limitations in balance and wear on wet roads.
Summarily, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun shines in aquaplaning resistance, dry and wet handling, but falls slightly short in efficiency and sustainability. Firestone Roadhawk's highlights include dry and wet handling, efficiency, and light wear, but it shows weaknesses in balance on wet roads and service life. Overall, if balance on wet roads and longer tyre life isn't a priority for you, the Firestone Roadhawk could be a suitable choice, but if you prioritize balance in different conditions, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun could be a more appropriate pick.
Please note that neither tyre has a newer replacement model, meaning both are still up-to-date options to consider for your summer tyre needs.
