Further to my earlier review, I wish to add that this tire is by far the SMELLIEST of all tires. It smells like a pig sty and the order increases when the tire is hot.

I just fitted a a new set of Falken’s Azenis FK510 on my BMW 4 series to replace my worn Michelin PSS, because of unavailability PS4S in the size I needed.

I am very impressed with the tires. They are very new in here and are 20-25% cheaper than the similar Michelin PS4S.

The performance is comparable to the PSS. It’s roadholding and handling is comparable, if not slightly better. First off, the tires are very much lighter and I immediately felt that the steering effort significantly less, steering is sharper, comfort is better than the Michelin. Damping over undulations is better and more muted. Braking is also better. It is noticeably quieter than PS4 on my sons Focus and the PSS on my 4 series. My only gripe is that it has made the steering a little too light and twitchy at speeds.

So far, there is no appreciable loss in performance from the lower price.

I will wait for the first rain, my upcoming long distance drive, and long term wear, to revise this review on these points.

Recommend by a friend to try th falken fk510 as he used them on his vxr, i’ve onley had them on a few month and i’m very impressed. Good tire all round.

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.

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!

Love Falken!
Have been driving BMW's for over 20 years...... have always swapped to Falken when tires needed changing.

Latest set front and rear RF's on a 430d .... great tires...why pay more....these Tires are so underrated!

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

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.

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!!

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!!!

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.
