The ZIEX ZE950 A/S is Falken's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire developed for drivers of family sedans and coupes looking for satisfying dry and wet performance, confident braking, as well as effective light snow traction.

The durable all-season tread compound is molded into an asymmetric pattern built to deliver confident braking and handling. Large circumferential grooves and generous lateral notches help evacuate standing water from the contact patch for stability in wet weather. Falken's 3D Canyon Sipes help provide biting edges for wintry weather traction while maintaining footprint stability.

...I feel confident in my cornering abilities on back-roads, and making evasive maneuvers, even in the rain...

Great replacement for worn/cracked tires, and nearly identical specs to the old ones I had, since Falken is a subsidiary of Sumitomo. Slightly more grip in exchange for slightly less tread life expectancy, sounds like a good deal to me! I feel confident in my cornering abilities on back-roads, and making evasive maneuvers, even in the rain. Haven't experienced snow or ice in these yet, but I'm sure they'll do alright.

...They are great in the rain and wet conditions and when needing to stop quick they don't disappoint...

Great tires for the price that provide everything I was looking for with the budget I had. I trust the tires, drove 5000 miles a week after purchasing. They are mostly quiet and able to take corners well, does seem to be a dead spot when changing lanes, not really an issue though. They are great in the rain and wet conditions and when needing to stop quick they don’t disappoint. For the price they are the best. If you need tires that are all around good at everything and great at none then look no further. They get job done and well at that. Definitely worth the price and I would recommend.

...But we had 1 day where 2 feet of snow came in with 4 inches of ice. Basically I shouldn't have been able to drive in these conditions. But without cables on the tire I got to work and even tho I was plowing the road with how low my car sits I had perfect traction and made it without any issues...

At first I wasn’t excited, Alaska winters aren’t nice especially when you drive a rear wheel car. But we had 1 day where 2 feet of snow came in with 4 inches of ice. Basically I shouldn’t have been able to drive in these conditions. But without cables on the tire I got to work and even tho I was plowing the road with how low my car sits I had perfect traction and made it without any issues. Outside of ice conditions these tire are some of the best I have gotten and they aren’t too expensive.

...In the Wyoming winter I never had an issue getting to work. Often I was going faster than most of the other traffic. Snow traction is fair...

Overall I like these tires. I commute about 100 miles a day so tread life was an important consideration. After a year and about 20,000 miles I'd say they've held up well, even with my spirited driving nature. In the Wyoming winter I never had an issue getting to work. Often I was going faster than most of the other traffic. Snow traction is fair. I have noticed as we've come into our spring season, the wet traction isn't as good as I'd expected. Dry traction is good about as expected. Overall these are good tires and I'd definitely buy them again. A great product from Falken for a reasonable price.

Customers overwhelmingly rate dry traction 9-10, highlighting responsive handling and confident grip. A few scores between 7-8 suggest minor variability, but the ZE950 A/S delivers excellent performance for Ultra High Precision driving, aligning with its all-season design priorities.

...I've had a few different tires brands on this car and I have to say, these things GRAB, which is kinda wild for a 600 tread wear. Obviously not as good as 200 wear Dunlops I've had before but definitely don't want to let go easy in the dry...

Bought these as a special and had never tried fallen before, but have had their other brand ohtsu before as that's what came on the car when I got it.

I've had a few different tires brands on this car and I have to say, these things GRAB, which is kinda wild for a 600 tread wear. Obviously not as good as 200 wear Dunlops I've had before but definitely don't want to let go easy in the dry.
Road noise isn't bad given the tin can nature of this car, ride quality was pretty fair for the size of the sidewall, and wet traction on the interstate was pretty good. Only real gripe I had if much of one was they tend to wear kinda fast for a 600.
Even with an economy car such as an accent, I felt as if it'd claw through corners with plenty of grip and nut much if any squeal, definitely made it more livelier to zing through country back roads than anticipated.

...Sure-footed and predictable in the curvy stuff... No unnerving feelings in the twisty stuff when pushed hard in the 30-45mph range...

Very quiet at both sport and highway speeds. Low-moderate noise on concrete surfaces. Sure-footed and predictable in the curvy stuff. Air pressure in tires remains consistent/equal (despite common pressure fluctuations do temperature changes). No unnerving feelings in the twisty stuff when pushed hard in the 30-45mph range. Not a track guy so unable to comment on high-speed performance, but tires feel great and respond well motoring along interstate at 70+mph.

I have driven on wet roadways with them, but not in a downpour yet, so wet performance evaluation incomplete. They felt fine so far, however.

Categorize my driving as "sport touring". Occasional interstate, drive lots of local US/State Highways to reach curvy backroads. Don't want it to be, but the car is also my daily driver for inner city commute. Being a high milage driver,159,000mi / 7yrs, I lean towards somewhat budget friendly ultra-high-performance all-season tires. I average 25-30k per set regardless of brand. This is my first set of the 950, and my first set of Falken's. Last two sets have been General AS05's. I liked them. Discontinued. 950's cost less than new AS07's and as of this writing, the 950's are just as good (if not better).

After taking my 2019 Honda fit to the outer reaches of Utah and driving back to Sonoma approximately 2200 miles round-trip. The tires were great. They exceeded my expectations. Great tires on the highway. Very good ride no noise and very responsive. I’m very pleased.

The tires have significantly improved the ride in the mini, smoothed out road bumps and cured the slight steering pull to the left on the old ones. I wouldn't have expected there to be such a marked difference. Other customer reviews rate the tires highly for snow and rain, and while I haven't driven the car in adverse weather yet, the Falkens certainly give me reason to believe they will perform very well indeed.

...Used these particular tires on a few other vehicles and they've always been just excellent bang for the buck, daily driver tires with good performance characteristics.

I am running the ziex 950 tires in 245/50r16 on my regular cab ranger with a 4/5 drop kit and sway bars, they are fantastic tires in most conditions. Used these particular tires on a few other vehicles and they've always been just excellent bang for the buck, daily driver tires with good performance characteristics.
