Runflat model 225/45 R18 front and 255/40 R18 rear. Excellent grip in the dry and very goog in the wet. Best cost/performance.

Excellent tire. They tamed my 500+BHP rear wheel drive car. They do dry grip and wet grip in a manner that impresses just like a top tier tire. I was expecting them to be really good, but they were better than that.

I simply love these tires... They replaced the Pirelli Conti Sports thst were standard fitment on this car from new and it was the best thing I ever did... The car has slight performance enhancements and delivers over 370kw at the rear wheels and these tires have transformed it... Simply brilliant in normal every day driving conditions and outstanding when they need to be... If you have a higher performance car and enjoy driving do not bother with anything else... Pound for pound the best value for money bar none!

Do not be a tire snob . I have had Contis , Michelin and so forth on my cars and these Falkens are just as good and a lot cheaper . On the road you will not tell the difference . They are in the top five in most tire reviews and only a small percentage adrift the winners .Try them you will not be disappointed

These are excellent tires for the money. I was between Conti Premium 6 and these and the prices was just to good to pass on. Did not regret It, I would consider them the Best Buy in UHP Class.

Given 77% while driving a Skoda Octavia (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
These were good tires except one aspect,,that being wear rate. After 20.000 miles the tires are done. I expected at least 4 to 6 K more since my driving is mixed and rarely did I push them to the limit in b roads. Dunlop sport Maxx rt2 hope will give the mileage o want by keeping all the other good properties of the Falken.

Excellent tire, much better than the run flats they replaced. Rounds off the bumps and much quieter

Waited until these came into country after watching your video about them "Top 11 Tires for 2018 Summer).
Glad I waited and such a good price. Was looking at MPS4s but in NZ they are about $2k fitted. Saved about NZ$700 fitting these.
The Tire Guy over inflated them so were quite harsh until I went with Factory PSI settings (39 fr and 41rr)
I've got a Large RWD Saloon making 500HP and first thoughts that with the wide 3.5 grooves, it might be hard getting HP down to the road. Once the mould release wore off AND get up to Temp...not too bad. A little Understeery at first when tipping it in on throttle, but then grips and behaves nicely.
In the wet, these things are epic, traction down is out of this world and tracks nicely through High Speed corners.
Previous tires were NEXEN SU1s
Not sure of wear as have only had them on 3 weeks. If I manage 30000kms out of them will be stoked.
Thanks for suggesting these tires, recommending them to anybody who listens.

Kia Motors (215/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
The tires were fitted right after my 2nd falken ze914 set...wanted to try a japanese tire by falken but after reaching 7.000 miles i suppuse its time to admit that the ze914 where quite better overall...

The worst thing with the 510s is their rate of wear....they wear damn fast...i will be surprised if they last 12K miles...

The second rhing to mention is that they could be a bit better in slippery roads...914s were better,given 9/10

But other than these,the tires handle beautifully under pressure,their sides are solid and make you feel confident

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.

BMW 428i m sport coupe (255/35 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 50 spirited miles
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.
