Delticom centralized survey results from more than 40.000 customers from 15 European countries and created this index.
Making use of FALKEN’s patented Dimple Sidewall technology, FALKEN have endowed their latest high performance summer tyre with the ability to continue on the road for a distance of at least 80 kilometres at 80km/h. Additionally, there is no need to carry a spare wheel, which reduces the payload, saving fuel and freeing up boot space. The ZIEX ZE914 ECORUN Runflat affords users all the characteristics of the standard ZE914 – exceptional levels of performance, comfort and safety – while providing the additional peace of mind that only a runflat tyre can provide.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Outstanding grip in dry and wet conditions
Low drive-by noise
Improved rolling resistance
Tailor-made for sporty drivers
With SPECIAL EYES® tyre wear indicators**
Patented dimples in the sidewall improve the efficiency of heat dissipation
RUNFLAT(RFT) technology
The RUNFLAT* technology of these tyres dramatically improves road safety by ensuring that the vehicle does not lose control even after a blow-out. Their ‘limp-home’ function allows drivers to continue on the road for a distance of at least 80 kilometres at 80 km/h. In addition, there is no need to carry a spare wheel. This reduces the payload, saving fuel and freeing up space in the boot.
ECORUN technology
Falken tyres with the ECORUN label feature reduced rolling resistance. By reducing energy loss through friction, they save on fuel consumption - good for the environment, and good for your budget.
* Only mount on vehicles with TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). ** See page 58.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
