Falken Azenis FK510 Reviews - Page 10

Given 97% while driving a Mercedes Benz C180 (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Excellent in all aspects, except when you cross tram tracks. Don't know about wear, have done only 7000 km with them.

Ive been looking for a performance tire that handles well in the wet. Tried Pirelli Zeros, Dunlop Sports Maxx and Nitto Invo. The FK510 outperforms the others for an Falcon XR6.

Given 80% while driving a MINI Cooper S (215/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 200 spirited miles
These tires replaced part worn 205/45x17 run flat Dunlops on which I have driven about 6k mls - car transformed, much reduced torque steer, quieter, much more resilient ride (its a MCS not a limo but far more refined) - good grip and does not dart about on ruts/bumps! My first ever "budget tires" and much impressed but have yet to try in wet but must be better than terrible R/f's. Do not confuse a hard fidgety and darty ride/handling with impressive go kart handling!!!!
Ditch the r/f's pdq and buy a bottle go goo!

Running 510s on front of bmw e60 m5 5.0 v10 and Michelin pilot super sports on rear and drive the car really hard often . I was expecting to lose the front end a little especially in the wet but can honestly say I’m really impressed with how they are performing . Would never have thought to fit falkens but they were new on when bought the car . rears needed changed and put my favs on . I’m very tempted to put 510s on rear when I’ve hammered these because of how well they have done hard decision as Michelin’s are so so good . Would be very happy to test out some 510s on rear for you

Given 89% while driving a Ford S Max (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 22,000 average miles
Positive: Fantastic grip on wet and dry, very responsive / accurate in sudden change, Low noise.
Negative: Comfort, probably due the firm sidewalls. Bad fuel consumption, at least 6-7% more then the Primacy 3.
this means that at least 250 liters of diesel fuel high consumption in 60,000 Km, which, multiplied by 1.5€ per liter it is, 375€ more, which does not justify the 200€ paid less for 4 tires, compared to a premium tire train.

Given 67% while driving a Peugeot 3008 (225/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
I`m never been one to buy Budget Tires, I`ve mainly been impressed with Kumho`s, the Kumho Ecsta KU39 has always served me well, with a good combination and performance and wear, running two full sets on the 3008, which usually get me around 20k of running.
I fitted 4 F510`s at the end of April after being told Kumho had replaced the my trusty KU39`, they are quiet, perform as well as the KU39`s but much to my disappointment, the front two were on the bars at 12,000 miles, not a good return by anyone`s standard, and that`s from a moderate driver.

Just had two new Kumho PS71`s fitted on the front today, lesson learnt!!

Given 87% while driving a Opel Astra J 1.4 turbo (225/45 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
Great tires !! Fantastic grip on wet and very good on dry (I think they are a little bit less responsive / accurate in sudden change of course as my previous Good year asymmetric 2). Low noise ,good fuel consumption! The only bad thing is the comfort...not good as my previous Good Year and this is probably because of the firm sidewalls !
I would definitely buy them again!!!

Given 50% while driving a Peugeot RCZ GT 156THP (235/40 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 1,000 easy going miles
Replaced a mix of cheap tire and continental on front of RCZ - had high hopes but the road noise was unbelievably poor. Didn't see any improvement in handling etc.

Can't really comment on wear.

Overall very disappointed - mainly due to road noise - which was one of the reasons I bought these tires in the first place.

Given 93% while driving a MINI Cooper S (215/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Had these fitted on the front of the car as a result of a puncture emergency. Not ideal and I was a bit nervous, however, they got a good write up in the EVO magazine (available in the waiting area!) so I went for it.. Shouldn't have been worried. They really are excellent in all conditions and provide confidence. Actually they are much better than the Yokos that they replaced, and given the cost I wouldn't hesitate to fit again.
