We are comparing the performances of two popular tyres, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun and the Maxxis Premitra HP5, based on various test results. Both are summer tyres well-received in their own ways.
The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun, a touring tyre made in Turkey, has scored an overall rating of 85% on our tests. Its key strengths are aquaplaning resistance and dry lane changing. Notably, it secured the 8th and 6th positions in the Autozeitung and Autobild tests respectively. The tyre showed especially impressive performances in areas like dry handling, comfort, and wet braking in the Autobild test. Despite these positives, the tyre is not without its downsides, with noticeable restrictions on mileage and increased rolling resistance. More information about this tire can be found on Falken's official website.
Moving to the Maxxis Premitra HP5, it received an overall rating of 81% from our tests. This tyre has captured attention with its strong aquaplaning resistance and showed its prowess by ranking 5th in the Autozeitung test and 9th in the Autobild test. Its performance on handling on gravel, comfort, and exterior noise met high standards in different tests. Nevertheless, there are areas for improvement such as delayed steering response, moderate grip levels on wet and dry surfaces, and notably restricted mileage. More details about this tyre can be found on the Maxxis's official webpage.
In conclusion, both the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun and the Maxxis Premitra HP5 demonstrate praiseworthy performances in various aspects. However, the Falken tyre boasts slightly better ratings overall and delivers particularly in dry conditions and aquaplaning resistance. The Maxxis tyre, on the other hand, stands out with superior aquaplaning safety reserves and lower price levels. It's crucial to consider your specific driving needs and conditions when choosing between these two tyres.
