In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (Falken) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (Michelin). Generally, Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (79%) than Falken (70%). The first tyre test of Falken ZIEX ZE320 was done in 2025, compared to 2022 when was the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the Autobild 2025 225/40 R18 test, where both the ZIEX ZE320 and the Pilot Sport 5 were tested. We also know where ZIEX ZE320 is made - Turkey.
