Comparing two notable summer tyres, the Cooper Zeon CS8 and the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, reveals a significant difference in their overall performance and ratings. The Cooper manufactured tyre earned a 56% rating from our experts, while the Falken tyre achieved a much higher score of 81% in our tests.
Diving into the test results, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun performed notably better in mutual test positions, securing the 6th position in both Autobild and ADAC tests out of 51 and 50 tyres tested, respectively. The tyre's strengths lay in its excellent dry handling, longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, comfort, and wet braking. Minor weaknesses noted in Autobild 2024 test were an environmental balance and efficiency, however, it demonstrated commendable handling in both wet and dry conditions.
The Cooper Zeon CS8, on the other hand, placed 13th in the Autobild test and 33rd in the ADAC test. This tyre's good performance on wet roads was overshadowed by its imbalanced performance, pronounced weaknesses on dry roads and environmental balance, and subpar durability, with shortcomings in abrasion, efficiency, and sustainability.
Based on these results, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun clearly takes the lead in this comparison. Not only did it outperform the Cooper Zeon CS8 in mutual tests, but it also provided a more balanced and reliable performance, with high marks in important areas such as wet and dry handling, aquaplaning resistance, comfort, and wet braking. Both tyres are summer tyres, with the Falken tyre classified under the 'touring' subtype. It's worth noting that neither tyre has been replaced by a newer model as of now.
The Cooper Zeon CS8, made in Great Britain, fell short in the tests with its slightly unbalanced performance and significant weaknesses in dry road handling. Meanwhile, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, made in Turkey, turned out to be a superior tyre overall with high scores and optimal performance in various key parameters.
