Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun
Being usually one of the cheaper tyres in the test, the japanese Falken still delivers very safe characteristics for everyday driving. It suffers a bit in the efficiency department, with higher rolling resistance and limited mileage.

Dunlop Sport BluResponse
The BluResponse has been with us for many years now, but it still stands as a very decent tire. The price is usually acceptable and it's only major downside when compared to newer tires is lower mileage.
