Today, we compare two summer tyres: Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun by Falken and BFGoodrich Advantage by BFGoodrich.
The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, a touring tyre made in Turkey, delivers a solid performance with an overall rating of 81%. Key strengths found among the test data include exceptional dry handling, good comfort, and impressive aquaplaning resistance. Despite slight weaknesses in environmental sustainability and efficiency shown in autobild 2024 test, this Falken tyre ranked 8th in the Autobild and Autozeitung tests out of 53 and 10 total tyres respectively and 6th in the ADAC test out of 50 tyres.
On the other hand, the BFGoodrich Advantage presented commendable comfort and dry handling but did not fare as well overall, with an overall score of 76%. While praised for its dynamic dry handling, low noise, and reasonable price in autobild 2024, it was noted for a tendency to understeer in wet conditions. In terms of test placement, it ranked as the 18th tyre in Autobild test out of 53, 21st in ADAC out of 50 tyres, and 9th in Autozeitung test out of 10 total tyres. It did surpass the Falken tyre in the Firmenauto test, bagging the 8th position out of 11.
When comparing Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun and BFGoodrich Advantage, the ZE310 Ecorun takes the lead in most of the tests thanks to its superior wet and dry handling capabilities. Its key shortcomings were environmental and logistical considerations, namely increased rolling resistance and lower than average sustainability. The BFGoodrich Advantage competes well in terms of comfort and lower rolling resistance but falls behind in wet condition handling.
In conclusion, if dry and wet handling are paramount for you, then you might lean towards the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun. If comfort and cost-effectiveness are important considerations, then the BFGoodrich Advantage would be a suitable choice. Do bear in mind that neither of these tyres had a newer model replacing them at the time of writing. Be sure to check back for updates and more detailed individual tyre tests.
