Falken Ziex ZE914 . FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Falken Ziex ZE914 is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire upgrades its summer weather traction by utilizing the asymmetric tread design and the summer tire compound. The compound actively avoids heat build-up along the tread area during the tire's hot temperature, summer performance. The five-rib asymmetric pattern, with the ideal lateral groove placement, increases the grip on the road surface. This upgrades the dry and wet weather traction and boosts the summer weather driving safety. The tread's circumferential grooves also manage to prevent hydroplaning. They channel water from the footprint and keep the tire's surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire upgrades its wet weather performing security.The tread design and the optimal compound also boost the high speed performance and controllability. The tread's solid center rib and wider shoulder blocks boost the surface contact and increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it. The shoulder blocks' surface contact increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the tire's performance. This enables the model to enhance the grip during maneuvering, guaranteeing a safer drive. The better road surface contact and the ideal heat-resistant compound work together to upgrade the high speed performance. They maintain the road contact and the ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure, allowing the tire to perform at its best high speed capability with ease.The Ziex ZE914 upgrades the comfort levels as well. The tread's five-rib pattern creates a phase-shift with its lateral grooves, which helps lower the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. This enables the generate a special sound frequency which cancels the soundwaves during the tire's performance. This prevents road disturbances from being heard in the vehicle's cabin and, in this manner, they cannot dampen the passengers' driving enjoyment throughout the drive. This results in a comfortable and quiet driving experience. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
