Falken e.ZIEX nblk

I experience that the tires become noticeably noisier the more they wear out.

The tires from Falken were accepted due to the lack of availability of the desired brand and are significantly better than expected, feeling of security in curves and on rails. For a vehicle with an unladen weight of less than 1 tonne, grip on wet roads is important; the tires are acceptable here. After 1,400 km I can't comment on tire wear and fuel consumption, which is of little importance given the low mileage.

Dry: Tires have an unpleasant life of their own, especially when driving in a sporty manner. Runs permanently off track on grooved, bumpy roads. Reluctantly and reluctantly turns into corners, which gets even worse with increasing mileage and tread wear. Steering behavior without sufficient driver feedback. In addition, a bony, wooden rolling behavior. In my opinion, not a tire for sporty drivers. Wet: The driving characteristics are significantly better on wet roads. The good aquaplaning properties in heavy rain are particularly positive. All in all, I am quite disappointed with the Falken tires, which I have now replaced with a set from another make.

Compared to the factory size of the Suzuki Vitara, it is 10 mm wider (225/55 instead of 215/55), but the car has become much more comfortable, it is quiet, its handling is excellent, it sits well even in corners at high speed. I can only recommend.
