The Falken Ziex ZE001 AS is generally regarded as a competent OEM-spec tire that offers a comfortable, quiet ride and reliable dry-road handling. However, user consensus is heavily polarized by significant concerns regarding premature tread wear and subpar performance in winter conditions, particularly snow and slush.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
47/100From 17 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Reliable dry-road traction and handling
- Satisfactory performance for daily commuting and highway driving
- Good initial feedback and wet-road grip for moderate driving
Cons
- Rapid and premature tread wear
- Poor traction and confidence in snow and icy conditions

Worth knowing
- Subaru owners frequently report that the tire fails to meet expected mileage intervals, often requiring replacement well before 40,000 miles.
- Drivers of higher-output vehicles, such as the Mazda 6 Turbo, report that the tire struggles to manage torque, leading to significant wet-weather traction issues.
