πŸ’‘ Is the Falken ZIEX ZE950 A/S 205/50R17 a Good Tire?

The Falken ZIEX ZE950 A/S 205/50R17 is an all-season ultra high performance tire designed for mid-size sedans and sport coupes. It delivers balanced dry handling and confident wet traction thanks to its asymmetric tread design and silica-enhanced compound. Ride comfort is moderate with acceptable road noise levels, though it prioritizes performance over luxury quietness. Tread life is average for its category without a mileage warranty. Rated Good by TireRack based on 65 consumer surveys, it offers solid year-round performance but lacks the winter grip needed for snow-heavy climates. Currently priced from $117.94, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Falken ZIEX ZE950 A/S 205/50R17 is an ultra high performance all-season tire, designed for family sedan and coupe drivers who prioritize confident handling and wet weather stability in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and durable all-season compound focus on delivering balanced dry and wet traction with effective water evacuation capabilities.

The tire features large circumferential grooves and generous lateral notches that help channel standing water away from the contact patch for improved wet weather stability.

Driver feedback points to excellent wet and dry performance with strong comfort levels, making it a reliable choice for varied weather conditions.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability while maintaining responsive handling characteristics. Overall, it's a solid choice for sedans and coupes used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in mixed weather conditions.
