Our take

The Falken ZIEX ZE001 A/S is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize wet grip, as its score of 7.5 surpasses the category average. It also delivers on comfort and noise, matching the segment benchmarks, which makes it a comfortable option for daily commutes. However, the absence of a treadwear warranty and a low UTQG treadwear rating of 360 are significant drawbacks in the touring all-season category, where longevity is often key. In terms of positioning, the ZIEX ZE001 A/S offers competitive wet grip and comfort, but it falls short on treadlife compared to competitors like the Continental ProContact TX, which includes a treadwear warranty. This makes the ZE001 A/S less appealing for those who cover high mileage annually and are looking for a tire with guaranteed longevity. Overall, if wet grip and comfort are your main concerns, the ZIEX ZE001 A/S is worth considering. However, if you're looking for a tire with a strong treadwear warranty and longer lifespan, you might want to explore options like the Continental ProContact TX instead.

Pros

  • Wet grip score of 7.5 exceeds the category average of 6.9, providing reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 match the category benchmarks, making it a pleasant option for daily driving.
  • Handling score of 7.5 aligns well with the category, ensuring predictable performance in various conditions.

Cons

  • The lack of a treadwear warranty and low UTQG treadwear rating suggest higher replacement frequency, impacting long-term cost efficiency.
  • No treadwear warranty, which is unusual for the touring all-season category and may affect long-term value.
  • Treadwear rating of 360 is about average compared to the category average UTQG of 596, indicating a lifespan in line with competitors.
  • The Continental ProContact TX offers a treadwear warranty, which can provide better long-term cost efficiency.
