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 Yokohama Advan Sport AS is generally regarded as a competent, budget-friendly performance tire that excels in comfort and dry-road handling. While many users appreciate the value proposition and smooth ride quality, there is a notable divide regarding tread longevity and wet-weather performance, with some users reporting premature wear and stability concerns.
Pros
- Excellent value for the price, especially when sourced as discounted inventory
- Smooth and quiet ride quality
- Strong dry-road grip and cornering performance
- Improved acceleration times compared to previous sets
Cons
- Significant concerns regarding rapid tread wear and short lifespan
- Inconsistent performance in wet or cool conditions
- Lack of high-end performance feedback for spirited driving
- Potential for stability issues at highway speeds
Observations
- Users transitioning from run-flat tires to this standard construction report improved ride comfort.
- One user noted superior tread longevity on an electric vehicle compared to their previous Pirelli tires.
- Performance-oriented drivers found the tire insufficient for track-day longevity, noting rapid degradation after limited use.

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.
