Questions and Answers for the Falken Azenis FK510

2018-09-19 - Können Sie mir bitte sagen, ob es sicher ist, bei einem Ford Mondeo Kombi einen FK453 auf der linken Seite hinten und einen FK510 auf der linken Seite hinten anzubringen?

Es wird immer empfohlen, die Reifen paarweise zu wechseln. Daher ist es nicht ratsam, die Reifen zu mischen. Dies wäre zwar nicht grundsätzlich unsicher, könnte jedoch zu Problemen mit der Fahrzeugbalance führen, insbesondere bei Nässe.

2018-11-02 - Wenn ich diese Falkens auf einem 911er Baujahr 2007 anbringe, können diese Reifen dann von rechts nach links gedreht werden?

Der Falken FK510 ist ein asymmetrischer Reifen, d. h. Sie können ihn von links nach rechts drehen.

2019-06-08 - Sind Falken-Reifen (FK510) für einen Porsche Boxster S geeignet?

Vorausgesetzt, Sie finden im FK510 die richtige Größe und Tragfähigkeit, die Sie benötigen, gibt es keinen Grund, sie nicht auf einem Boxster zu verwenden.

2019-10-21 - Sind Falken Azenis FK510-Reifen Ganzjahresreifen?

Der Azenis FK510 ist ein Sommerreifen.

2019-11-04 - Hallo, ich habe einen Mazda 6 2.5 2008. Ich fahre hauptsächlich 90 % Stadt und 10 % kurvige Landstraßen (ich genieße das). Die beste Lösung ist, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 zu kaufen, ich weiß, aber der ist 50-60 % teurer als der FK510. Ich habe mich zwischen dem FK510 und dem Goodyear F1 Asym 5 entschieden. Die Frage ist: Soll ich 15 % mehr für Goodyear bezahlen oder gibt es für den höheren Preis nicht viel bessere Fahreigenschaften?

Schauen Sie sich unseren großen Reifentest auf YouTube an, er sollte Ihre Frage beantworten. Kurz gesagt: Wenn Sie Wert auf gutes Handling legen, ist der Asym5 den Aufpreis wert.

2021-04-05 - Ich habe einen SUV mit 4x4 und Bridgestone Dueler an Vorder- und Hinterachse. Die Hinterreifen haben sich nach 24.000 km auf 3,4 mm abgenutzt, die Vorderreifen auf 5 mm. Ich ziehe einen Wohnwagen. Wären Falken FK510-Reifen besser?

Es gibt fast keine Verschleißtests für hochbelastete Reifen als Referenz, aber die Reifen der Bridgestone Dueler-Reihe sind traditionell langlebige Reifen, daher wäre ich überrascht, wenn die Falken-Reifen eine längere Laufleistung bieten würden. Wahrscheinlich wären die Leistung bei Nässe und der Komfort besser.

2021-05-12 - Ich möchte Falken FK510 auf meinen Vauxhall GTC mit 19-Zoll-Felgen montieren, das neue Paar passt nur auf die Vorderräder. Die Tragfähigkeit der Falken beträgt jedoch 99, das Auto hat bereits 95er-Reifen auf der Hinterachse, die drauf bleiben, und 95 ist die Norm für dieses Fahrzeug. Wird es einen Unterschied machen, wenn die 99er-Tragfähigkeit auf der Vorderachse ist? Danke

Theoretisch könnte die 99er-Last eine etwas steifere Konstruktion haben, aber angesichts der Tatsache, dass es sich vorne und hinten um Reifen unterschiedlicher Marken handelt, wird der Unterschied größer sein als die unterschiedlichen Tragfähigkeiten.

2021-11-03 - Ist der Falken F510 für die Hinterräder eines Mercedes E250cdi AMG Cabrios geeignet?

Ja, das ist es.

Do not buy this tyre or ANY hard compound tyre if you drive a Hyundai Coupe, especially a TSIII with factory lowered suspension, you will feel every single imperfection in the road and the ride comfort is absolutely abysmal. This car cannot handle hard compound tyres, fit a soft compound like Bridgestone Turanza.

I’ve driven Pirelli Cinturato P7 and Goodyear aswell on Mercedes C class and I can say that Pirelli is the worst especially in the wet. Comparing Goodyear and Falken they are both worth the money, the only difference is the wear where Falken is not that good. But since Goodyear and other high end price tyres can be double of Falken price, I would definetely recommend Falken.

Given 64% while driving a Citroën C5 (245/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 22,000 spirited miles
The tires were fitted to the car since I bought it (used). They were 1.5 years old when I bought the car, with 15000 km (8000 miles) fitted beginning of 2020. I have done 20k km with the car since, so tires changed at 35k km.
From 15-20000 km they were performing really good, dry and wet conditions. At around 20k I had swapped front and back ones as wear was pretty high at the front, and from 20-25k wet grip was fading. I had also experienced balancing issues (around 120+ km a mild rattling of the steering wheel).
I would say that for the first 20k it's a really high performance tire, as grip was amasing, dry and wet, but as it wears out it starts becoming more and more slippery. At the end of their life they were kind of dangerous in the wet, and 35k kilometers (~28k miles) it's not that high for the price of 18 inch tires (rears were at the same level as the legal limit indicators). I have gone to something completely different (higher profile 17 inches to try how my hydractive suspension behaves) so I cannot give a direct comparison, obviously the new tires are grippier than the almost slick falkens :p

Given 73% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI 7.5 (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
Just had these fitted on my 300HP tuned MK7.5 Golf GTI. So this review will be initial impressions after a few hundred KM of city and highway driving. I will not be able to comment on the tyre wear right now. I will be comparing the FK510 to the Bridgestone RE004 that I was using prior.

Dry grip is good. Very close to the RE004. Definitely more than adequate for daily driving. Even when cornering at speed, the tyres grip well and don’t squeal much. Wet grip is slightly better than the RE004. The RE004 felt a bit nervous when driving quickly on wet roads. But on the FK510, there is less aquaplaning and the car feels more planted.

Feel wise, the RE004 is noticeably stiffer than the FK510. As a result, the FK510 just doesn’t feel as sharp or darty through corners. A nice handling tyre but just not sharp enough to compete with the best in this mid-range UHP segment. However the FK510 is more comfortable and absorbs bumps better.

Overall, a good UHP tyre for daily driving but definitely not the best in the segment in terms of handling. I wouldn’t buy these again as I prioritise driving enjoyment over all else but for someone who wants a jack-of-all-trades tyre for their daily driver. The FK510 is a good choice.

Given 78% while driving a Subaru BRZ (245/40 R17) on mostly motorways for 2,000 average miles
I bought these after about a month of searching for 245 wide tires that won't explose my budget, since I wanted some more meat under my BRZ. The sidewall feels softer than my previous set, but it's probably only due to the increased size (going from 215 on a 7in to a 245 on a 9in). Overall the tire has great grip, wether its cold, warm or wet. Tried a single session on them at a local racetrack, and they held very well! No understeer or oversteer even after pushing. I do have a slightly aggressive alignment, which may help. Overall its a great tire for a fun daily driver, maybe not as good as the top dogs in the UHP category, hopefully after some more miles they still shine.

Bare in mind before you read this review, I had these tires on a 170 HP VW, so I might not have the most fair review... but man these tires rock. I can never break traction in the dry, and almost never do in the wet. Only complaint is they don't last at all.

Given 87% while driving a Alfa Romeo 159 (225/50 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 easy going miles
I had these tires on my previous car (2011 Alfa Romeo 159 SW 2.0 JTDm). I sold it about 1 month ago. As it is still fresh in my memory, a wrote this review. The Falken Azenis FK510 is fantastic! Maybe not the best for rolling resistance so fuel economy, but not bad either. If my new car (2018 Mazda 6 SW 2.0 Skyactiv-G 165) needs new tires, chances are it will be Falken. Maybe I will try the new FK520 then.

Coming from a set of touring tyres fitted by the previous owner, I immediately noticed how much better they felt on the road. Road feedback and grip was greatly improved. Potholes can be a bit crashy (35 profile on 19inch wheels), but I've found that dropping the tyre pressure (1-2 psi) can help. However these do provide a quiet ride on most road surfaces and are relatively inexpensive down here in Australia.
