I have ziex205/50-15 VR on my Golf. They've only been on for 1000 miles, but I will be doing 2000 miles in the next 3 weeks and will report back.
On first acquaintance these tyres appear to be of a harder compound and, as such, provide slightly less grip in the dry than previous tyres I have used. Hopefully, this will result in improved wear rates. On the question of noise, I have not noticed any increase, but again I will let you know in a few weeks. Wet weather and braking performance appear to be consistent with other tyres I have had.
I have e-mailed tire-rack regarding them no loger stocking Falken and they said that Falken had stopped supplying tyres to them because they wanted to "get out of mail order and concentrate on retail outlets"
