ADAC Summer tyre test 2023 205/55 R16 good Ranked #6 of 50The Falken ZIEX ZE310 ECORUN distinguished itself among 50 competitors by finishing 6th, achieving a notable final rating of 'Good'. This tire showcases its strengths by delivering an impressive performance on both wet and dry surfaces, achieving top marks for its reliable handling and short braking distances on dry roads. Its commendable performance extends to wet conditions, where it also secures good ratings in braking, aquaplaning, and handling, though it slightly underperforms in lateral aquaplaning. Despite these strong safety qualities, the tire does face criticism for its environmental impact. It demonstrates satisfactory longevity and wear but is critiqued for its weight which impacts its efficiency negatively. Moreover, its sustainability aspect, particularly linked to its production, receives a modest assessment. This comprehensive evaluation underscores its balanced capability on the road while drawing attention to areas for improvement in environmental and sustainability metrics.
