From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
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
- Low hydroplaning resistance in heavy rain
- High replacement cost relative to longevity
Observations
- 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.
The Goodyear Assurance All Season is widely regarded as a budget-friendly, comfortable, and quiet tire suitable for daily commuting in moderate climates. While many users report excellent longevity and value, a notable segment of the user base experiences significant premature tread wear and subpar performance in heavy snow or icy conditions.
Pros
- High level of ride comfort and low road noise
- Excellent value for the price point
- Reliable dry and wet weather traction for non-aggressive drivers
- Strong tread life for many users, with some reporting over 60,000 miles
Cons
- Inconsistent tread life, with reports of premature wear well before the warranty limit
- Poor performance in winter conditions, specifically on ice and deep snow
- Occasional reports of vibration and balance issues immediately after installation
- Reduced traction during heavy rain compared to premium alternatives
Observations
- Users on mid-size SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V generally report high satisfaction regarding ride quality and noise levels.
- Drivers of heavier vehicles or those in mountainous, snowy regions report that the tire struggles to maintain grip, suggesting it is better suited for flat, temperate environments.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
