Earlier, I used Michelin tires that cost as much as Falkeny and had a lot worse. Driving on curves, braking and pulling both wet and dry five conditions.

The ratio quality / price is at a good level! I have a pretty moody car, that's why I was looking for tyres that would meet my expectations and I was not disappointed. The purchase turned out to be a hit! I have traveled about 1000km on them and for now without any issues, they still smell new :) On strong 90 degree turns with fast and aggressive driving they do not even squeak. On a rainy day they hold asphalt like a charm. If someone is looking for a good tyre for a moderate optimal price, this is the choice! Good luck in googling bad opinions about this tyre ;)

They keep very well on wet surfaces. The car is steady and stable. It's easy to feel the "limits" of grip on a dry surface. It takes place gradually, so that with a fast-traversed curve the car does not run in any direction you wouldn't like it to. Generally speaking, I recommend it. These tyres are certainly safe. The noise and comfort in my opinion is not annoying. My driving style is usually "average" with a slight dynamic indication. However, there are moments when you do not look at the consumption of both gasoline and tyres and yet Falkens give the impression of very durable tyres.

Guided by the opinions, but apparently my requirements are greater. The main problem is the balance and comfort. The old Continentalach not hit the steering wheel and Falkenach three new installers do not know what to do. Comfort is, writing, enough to feel every bump. Holding on wet and dry volume, it could be quieter at high speed. I'm not going to disappointed me.

The tires on dry roads behave well, problems occur in very wet. When the road begins to wet the biggest problem is with smooth acceleration, tires tend to turn, braking did not feel any major problems. Yet another drawback is that the tires they quickly get brown. It is not a big problem, but simply aesthetic inconvenience.

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.

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.

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.

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.
