The tire is inconsistent with the specification. It is very close to the size of 225 is expected that similar or effective width of the tread. This tire suddenly a 185 mm wide, it is bad on the car. It examines the exchange of wider rear tires on another manufacturer. Tires must get hot immediately after the quake, as if printed on the vehicle weight.

tyres 215 / 45R18 - at a speed of about 80 km / h, and then from 110 km / h up, they start to make a noise (buzzing - a sound similar to the plane taking off) tyres vibrate by transferring vibrations to the steering wheel of the car, especially at speeds of 120km / h and higher, and the car goes into resonance during a longer drive at a constant speed. I gave the tyres to the so-called normalization in the workshop so that they do not carry the vibrations of the steering wheel of the car. A bit better, but not really.

The problem with this model of tire falcon is that it provides no protection to the rim like many others are tires. My wife, who drove for twenty years without kerbing the wheels has managed to curb all four of our Skoda in two months. I am seriously considering throwing away these tires even if they have only done 3000 miles.

I hit August defective parts 4-ry, they could not be balanced at a speed of 110 130 km / h on the beating oczuwalne wheel + bang. The problem has persisted above 140 kilometers per hour speed I therefore 110km speed tire / h Very strong change very oczuwalna surface (ie roughness of the asphalt). I have a third season Pirelli P7 is poząbkowały, so will no longer be silent. Falkeny of them, however, are much stronger. Tire rigid and do not choose inequality. But thanks to lead to dry at higher speeds - to recommend. Wet - on average, worse than the Pirelli P7. In general, I would not recommend. Pay more and watch something better.

The car that my Falken ZE 914 tyres are fitted to is a 2008 Mercedes Vito 120, 205 BHP, rear wheel drive. Previously, I had Kumho KU31 tyres and I was very happy with them. They gave me good grip on both wet and dry. No corners were a problem, the tyres were reliable and had a nice visual look. With my driving style, they have lasted for 1,5 season. After consulting the helpline of Oponeo I was suggested to get Falken ZE 914 and advised that these tyres will be better at the same price. I tried them and unfortunately I am heavily disappointed. They are no match for Kumho when it comes to grip in the corners (they lose it slightly when coming out of the corner) and stability while driving. I just don't trust these tyres. For me, it's better to get Kumho or Toyo tyres instead of Falken ZE 914.

I bought Falken ZE 914 205/50 / R17 tyres about 1 month ago via the Internet. The parameters of this tyre are satisfactory for me, although mainly when buying I have been guided by whether this tyre has a rim protection. I was informed that, of course it does ..... and here the big disappointment because it almost does not have the rim shield - it is on a par with the tyre. I have a comparison with previous pirelli tyres of the same size. If someone does not care about rims and has little power in his car, the price is affordable.

Tires purchased suggesting that opinions. I was looking for tires as a quiet and comfortable but unfortunately disappoint. At a speed of about 80 km / h and then from 110 kmh start making noise (hum - a sound like an airplane taking off), in addition to vibrate and resonate long car while driving at a constant speed. 200-300 km of road ends with a headache and really tiring. The old winter tyres and summer turanzach was much quieter. Based on new wheels, about 1000 km, twice were balanced, stiff suspension, no game Would organize and get - nothing. I give to the complaint.
