2019 ADAC Summer tyre test 185 65 R15 · 185/65 R15 - satisfactory (3,4)
Conclusion: The Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun achieves only a satisfactory overall result, primarily due to its dry performance. On dry surfaces, it fails to provide precise steering feedback, making it difficult for drivers to adjust the steering angle for curves accurately, which precludes a good rating. Its handling at the limit is also rated as just satisfactory, though it does receive a good rating for its braking distance. In wet conditions, the Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun performs better, securing good ratings in braking distance measurements and aquaplaning resistance, but narrowly misses a good rating in handling. While the vehicle can be safely driven on the course, increased grip and precision would improve its performance. Environmentally, the Falken Ziex ZE 310 EcoRun only achieves a satisfactory rating. It scores well for projected mileage and wear, but its status as the heaviest tire in the test leads to only an adequate rating in that criterion. Its fuel consumption is barely rated as good, and sustainability, particularly for tires produced in Turkey, is deemed adequate. | Note: Ranked 10th out of 16

However, this older model suffers from high rolling resistance, meaning it will use more fuel than its competitors. | Note: Ranked 6th out of 9
