Falken Azenis FK510 Reviews - Page 5

Got these Falkens as cost effective option based on 'basic' Falkens I had on my previous, less powerful car. I have grown to appreciate the 'feeling' of the Falken tyres in general, and these in particular. The tires give me a lot of confidence, even though I am not pushing them anywhere near their limits. Good feeling and performance in dry and wet. They do feel a bit 'gritty' on Belgian highways (not known for being well maintained, tending to have potholes and a patchwork of quick repair patches, etc), transferring most little bumps, while still managing to even out larger bumps. Silent and reliable on any road surfaces that are even remotely decent. Wear was a bit more than I anticipated, though this is my first car with this kind of performance/weight combination so I am not sure if this is due to the tyre, or simply because of that particular setup.

I have just changed from nexen nfera which I thought were pretty good but these new falkerns are just brilliant. 4 weeks in and I've been doing 100 Miles a day in wet heavy rain and slippery roads (same journey every day) so I can see a huge difference in the car, much better grip in dry and especially in wet, less body roll so much more confidence wen taking bends.

Only use them for couple of days but first impression is grate, Falcon tyres are on the front and new Michelins primacy 4 at the back, why I didn't put falcons at the back i don't know they are super and cost lots less then Michelins. Falcons azenis are very quiet and super confortable, very good grip on wet car corners very well, when changed my old tyres I felt a big difference straight away They look nice as well Michelins primacy look horrible compared to this one's

Jaguar xfs d, very surprised with the performance and handling this tyre has delivered, miles better than Dunlop sp maxx, literally throwing the car around corners with confidence.

Very nice tyres, mounted on my Subaru STI, and I was positively surprised. Before I have mounted Bridgestone S001 and Dunlop SportMaxx, and I have to say that Falken tyres are definitively better. Very good on the dry, superlative on wet. Sidewall has good consistency, not to hard and not to weak. Considering also the good price, I think that there isn't anything better. Strongly reccomended!

Probably the best value run flat on he market, 20'000+miles. Just as good as Dunlop sport max £60 cheaper.

Great traction on dry and wet, did not push to the limits on wet tho. Lasted about i have them on the car for the last 10 000km and am very happy but have to say wears a bit more then i expected. At 10k km there is like 20-30% left in them. Probably will buy new set of rear next spring.

Bought a Honda accord 2011 2.2 i-dtec with about 25 % left on Falken FK510 235 X 45 X 18 INCH .It was mid winter and i live in the country side with fairly poor roads speed limit 100 km .The tires still performed well even on patches where the water was washing across the road surface .Could easily cruse at speeds in access of 160 kms /h . On dry roads they were even better .Like driving fairly fast most of the time because the car lends itself the higher speeds .Cornering and breaking remained above average even when the tires were on their wear indicator marks .Replaced them with ACHILLES ATR 2 SPORT tyres and i could feel the difference from the word go .Cornering ,breaking ,wet road handling ,comfort and rate of wear definitely quite worse than the FALKENS

Got these tyres to replace my Goodyear F1 Assym 3. After driving for around 6,000km, here are my thoughts. Dry grip is good but not as good as the Goodyears, same goes to the wet grip. Road feedback is not good at all, as the steering reaction is slow and lifeless. Comfort is exemplary, it is very soft and comfortable. Buy again? Depends, if I wanted something soft and comfy, sure. But, if I wanted something sporty, I would look far far away

Got the Run-flat version of this mid-range tyre for my AMG trimmed C Class estate. At initial fitting one tyre was defective and would not hold the pressure. Garage blamed it on manufacturing defect. I’ve also had one tyre break/bulge in the side wall after hitting a pothole which was disappointing. Now my rears are on the limit after only 1.5 years of driving so looking like I’m only going to get 15000 miles at best. I think it is slightly more comfortable than the continental contacts sports that came off. But being a Run-flat it’s still pretty harsh if you hit any minor imperfection in the road. Grip is good in both wet and dry and got quite good fuel efficiency with them. With children in the back I normally drive quite smoothly and only occasionally give it full beans. Given the issues I’ve had, the relatively poor wear rate and not being that much cheaper than a brisdgestone or Goodyear, will probably not go with these again.

I am running 235/50/R18 SUV version of the tyres. Looks like SUVs are slightly different in a lot of aspects to regular FK510. As example I did already 17000km on them and only front set is slightly visibly used. Rear set is like brand new. I like nearly every aspect of these tires, probably bar road noise on our Irish motorways ( but this is common problem with nearly all tyres here , due to very harsh surface of average Irish tarmac) My car is lowered and I have dynamic Koni FSD suspensions, but I could not send my car even to slight slide or even to get some squeak from tyres. They are extremely good on roundabouts and I am usually scared earlier than tyres even start to slide, and the good thing is that is the same behaviour on dry or wet.

Keep swaping between Ps4, Ps4s and Fk510. Fk510 is just better. Much2 more comfort. Really good at absorbing roads imperfections. Low noise level. Excellent grip. Overall its just a better tyre than both michelin. Really2 impressed.
