The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, made in Turkey, is a touring summer tyre with a 75% rating from our tests.

This tyre also demonstrated good security reserves in aquaplaning and dynamic dry handling, as per the autobild 2024 report. Moreover, it indicated admirable performance for Aquaplaning - cross and Dry lane changing in the Autozeitung test. However, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun showed limitations in mileage.

On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7 is a touring summer tyre made in France, Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic. With an exceptional 99% rating from our tests, this tyre performed remarkably well in tests. It secured the top position in all tests – Vibilagare, Autobild, Autozeitung, and ADAC.

From the TyreReviews.com 2023, we learn that the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun possesses good wet braking, exceptional aquaplaning resistance, admirable dry handling, and high levels of comfort.
