Probably led too long before 2.2bar on tyres..should were 2.8..otherwise I think would have been much wear better..the 3.0quattro weighs 2.1 tonnes and as a heavy car with sport suspension I feel the tires performed very well for the price.

These are very much a medium tire. Not bad but not great either. While the grip is ok, I do not feel that they let the car down.

Seem to be durable and have decent levels of grip. I did a track day when they were fairly new and they held up well. Biggest complaint is I lost grip a couple of times in the wet on a round about at low speed so that was not very confidence Inspiring.

Bought 4 tires Falken ZE914 215/55 R16 97W for a VW Sharan 1.9 TDI. Existing tires are Dunlop SP Sport 2020E and had around 2-3 mm tread on the rear tires and 2mm on the left on the front tires. I drove on Firestone and Dunlop SP Sport 9000 on the previous cars. Dunlop advised to change SP Sport 01 as they had stiff shoulders therefore better handling, because the VW Sharan high center of gravity. However, I took a risk and went for a brand Falken Ziex 914 defendants due to £ 20 price difference per tire. I definitely made the right choice. Tyre pressures remained the same as on old tires as recommended by VW on the fuel cap. I ran into the tires of 250 miles on local travel and on a motorway trip to 55 mph as advised. I''ve driven over 800 miles on the highway and local roads and now compared to the 2020th Dunlop SP Sport I obtained the following results for the benefit. 1. Lighter steering makes driving and parking much easier, tires are somehow very light, even after execution. 2. Fuel MPG improved considerably by 4 + mpg as indicated on the meter average vw edge. The MPG has increased by at least 6 mpg on highway speeds between 55 and 75 mph 3. Comfort is improved, the car is smoother on minor bumps and a little better on larger bumps that Dunlop. I kept the tire pressure the same as Dunlop. 4. dry grip improved slightly. I noticed that the car oversteer or understeer at 30 mph - 40 mph on two-lane road and motorway turns the slip road. 5. Wet grip has improved considerably and I can feel the control of the car at speed in the rain and can change lanes on a highway in the sense of control when I need to quickly move the car left or right when changing lanes. 6. The noise is not noticeable at the local level, but slightly improved on the highway. 7. Tire Wear - too early, even after 800 miles, will try to leave another review after 10K miles Global Verdict. After much research and about purchasing the SP Sport 01 SP Sport Blueresponse or after reading the comments, I'm glad I made the right choice and saved money by choosing the Falken ZE914 Ziex. I feel performance and comfort increased. Previously, only the top brands purchased but now must consider price brands such as Falken environment.

These tires, I think, is very good and durable. Although not spent on them, I think a lot of kilometers of senile to me for many years. Very nice and good performance. I really recommend.
