Owners broadly rate the Falken Azenis FK510 as a grippy, confidence-inspiring ultra-high-performance tyre, with strong praise for dry grip and consistently good wet grip. Around a quarter to a third of owners also highlight strong value for money, plus generally good ride comfort and acceptable-to-quiet road noise. The main recurring drawback is wear: around one in five owners complain of short tread life, and a smaller group also report that performance can tail off as the tyre gets worn.

Took the horrible Dunlop SportMaxx tyres off (getting a bit thin anyway) and chose these Falkens as I have had great results with these make of tyres on other cars. I am not disappointed. They are significantly quieter, with better grip in the wet than the Dunlops. The initial turn in is sharper with more feedback too and, more importantly, they don't suffer as much from the dreaded Dunlop flatspotting. Grip in the dry is fine too, with about the same firmness as the Dunlops, but eliminating high frequency bumps completely. I don't know about longevity as they haven't been on long enough. From this initial report I would definitely buy them again.
20K miles on the rear of BMW 520D. First set of non-runflats on the car and performed better than almost every other premium brand (run-flat) tyre I've had. lasted 20K miles - up to 4 times longer than some previous sets. would definitely buy again.

Good tire, better than Nokian zLine, but wear is bad, after 11000km I have left 4mm for fronts and 5mm for rear tires. Otherwise great tire even on some gravel.

Wet and dry grip of the tires are amazing.They added +30 km at the turns. Fuel consumption is much more lower than the previous tires. Tires are also silent.They fitted so well on my Bmw 330xd coupe. I ve just made 500 km i cant say anything about the wear for now. If u have a sport car you should try those tires. I ll definetely buy those tires again.
The grip in both dry and wet is very good, no wheelspin wel accelerating hard.
But they are very uncomfortable, the rolling noise is very loud comparing to my previous Continental tyres. On bad roads its even more uncomfortable because you notice every pothole.
Also much more fuel consumption, i didnt expected that a tyre with EU label E would so much more fuel then a EU label B tyre.
Not a good tyre for your daily comfortable car like my Audi A4.
Next time i would go for a premium tyre again like Michelin, Continetal or Goodyear. tyres from the big brands are just a bit better, and thats why they are a bit more expensive.
This tyre is excellent in the wet and dry, I have read reviews in which these tyres have lost out to the bigger brands on the dry tests but I think in normal operation these differences are so small very few people will ever notice the difference between a Falken and Continental. They do have a lot of grip but can feel a little plastic on the limit.
Falkens replaced the factory fitted pirellis cinturato p7 ecoimpact in 16.000miles, which were pretty good actually in all aspects but after the first 8.000 miles have developped a drowning noise in 40mph and around 60mph.The 510 is actually a little better in everything, especially in the wet than the p7.it handles very well both in dry and wet ,it doesn't spin from a standstill as the p7 did, it is silent and comfortable-can't tell about the wear though-it's too early. the only thing that the tyre lacks as opposed to the p7 is steering response where although an XL tyre,when driving it really hard response is slower than pirellis and needs more lock.
I have changed all four tires to Falken 510 and drove this Tyre for 2000 miles ,I felt the grip was good in both wet and dry also my car progress is good.Good tires for the price and quality as premium tires.
After 3000 miles the first signs are good. Fantastic dry grip and very good in the wet, nice even tyre wear and they seem to absorb the road really well overall I have nothing but positive feedback for these tyres I would definitely buy again..
I have this tire only for a month, but I encourage You to buy, and also share your impressions here. In the same summer conditions it adds 15 kmh in corners regarding the winter tire. I think i makes more noise at 90 than i imagined, but also absorbs the bumps better than softer winter tires did. I hold 2,6 bars on my 1,6 t weight car. please share your impressions and the pressure too!
Overall I spent a lot of time choosing, and I m happy with my decision. I prefer not the 3 main brands, but i did not wanted made in china stuff. This tire costs 30€ less than conti and 20€ less than hankook which i was consdidering.
