Comparison: Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun vs. Toyo Proxes Comfort vs. Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Continental PremiumContact 7
The comparison between the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun and the Toyo Proxes Comfort reveals distinct differences in performance during multiple tests.
The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun is renowned for its aquaplaning capabilities, dry handling, and comfort. In fact, these qualities granted the tyre an impressive 8th position out of 53 at Autobild test. However, some tests like Autobild 2024 pointed out that it may have limited mileage and slightly weak grip on wet surfaces. Despite this, the Falken tyre still managed to secure positions well within the top 10 at several mutual tests conducted.
The Toyo Proxes Comfort, meanwhile, scored favourably in terms of dry handling, shortest braking distances and noise levels, with a number of tests underlining its dynamic wet and dry handling. Notwithstanding, it landed only 17th at Autobild test. Additionally, recognising its somewhat limited tyre lifespan and mediocre aquaplaning traits in comparison to Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun is important.
Our in-house rating system gives the Falken tyre an 82% rating, showcasing its superior overall performance against the Toyo tyre, which received a 72% rating. However, in some specific tests like TyreReviews.com 2023, Toyo Proxes Comfort stood out with its low noise, very low rolling resistance, and good dry braking.
In summary, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun's strengths lie in its aquaplaning resistance, dry handling, and comfort, though it may lack in mileage. The Toyo Proxes Comfort exhibits balanced wet and dry handling, but trails in tyre lifespan and aquaplaning capabilities. If one prioritises comfort and dry handling, Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun would be an excellent choice. However, if low noise and low rolling resistance are key, the Toyo Proxes Comfort may prove to be a better option.
Ultimately, the decision between these two tyres depends on a driver's specific needs and driving conditions. We recommend customers to thoroughly review each tyre's performance in different tests to make an informed decision.
