In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Falken) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
GoodYear). Generally,
GoodYear summer tyres are slightly better rated (75%) than
Falken (71%). In this particular case, the GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 has a better rating of 85% compared to 66% of the Falken ZIEX ZE320. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
ZIEX ZE320 and the
Efficientgrip Performance 2 were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
ZIEX ZE320 is made in Turkey and
Efficientgrip Performance 2 is made in Poland/Germany.
