Falken FK510 SUV

Falken is expanding its Ultra High Performance (UHP) range of tires by making its flagship AZENIS FK510 available as a SUV tire from 2017. The new addition to Falken’s product line-up reflects the growth of the SUV market and continues the tire manufacturer’s strategy of supplying an extensive range of products in profitable and high-growth segments.

A new, innovative casing design on the the AZENIS FK510 SUV ensures precise handling behavior, especially in cases of sudden load shifts while driving. The more circular casing profile increases the flexibility of the side wall, which results in a high degree of driving comfort and more balanced overall driving characteristics. Just like the car model of the tire, the AZENIS FK510 SUV has 'blade sipes' to reduce instances of aquaplaning. Several small incisions in the tread bar optimises the contact area of the tire when steering and allows more efficient penetration of standing water on the road.

Tire review data from 9 tire reviews averaging 74% over 71,737 miles driven, and 4 tests with an average result of 3rd.

Given 84% while driving a Vauxhall MOKKA 1.4 TURBO (215/55 R18) on mostly country roads for 570 average miles
Brought these tires to replace the original Continentals, didn't really need the W speed rating but for the price and what I have heard of Falken tires I thought I would give them ago, and so far well pleased. just a bit concerned about how they will wear as they are a more rounded tire and I have my tire pressure set at the lower limit for comfort rather than the eco pressure so they may wear a lot more on the edge than the Continentals.

Given 74% while driving a Volvo XC60 (255/45 R20) on mostly town for 25,000 spirited miles
It’s a no fight to the premium brands SUV Tires but considering its cost. FK510 SUV is the most value for money Tires.

Given 42% while driving a Lexus Rx450h (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
I find these tires very poor, and the slightest hint of moisture seems to make them slip. They came with my 'new' (used) car and I will be replacing them as soon as I can.

Given 93% while driving a Volvo XC90 D5 (163bhp) (255/55 R18) on mostly motorways for 20,000 spirited miles
Modified Volvo XC90, so this may affect perception (lifted 30mm front & rear, ET27 8x18 alloys instead of stock ET49 7x18, meaning increased scrub radius and edge wear). Very good control of the boat (sic), sidewalls softer than average, tire just looks better than same size winters, compliant, comfortable, and silent ride. Each spring was a relief fitting them back on after months with rigid and loud Hankook winters (never again). Inflated properly, and with wheel alignment in order, wear on these Falkens is quite decent, too, total life maybe 25k on this vehicle but this is (was) a 2.5 ton modified pile of iron driven ruthlessly (hours of 100mph on German Autobahn each way, on bad roads / among worse motorists in Europe, sometimes in 38 deg C, etc).

Volvo (235/60 R18) on a combination of roads for 6,000 spirited miles
Dry handling is better than the Michelins I removed, also quieter ! wet Handling & change of direction is better, with better feed back, also less movement from the rear (xc60 D4 2wd) as i do chuck it about more than most ....... Mpg has gone down by about 4/5mpg ....which is a tad pants.... as the everything else is very impressive. looking at sticking a set on my Focus also
