Good compromise between comfort and handling during normal daily driving. I feel very confident pushing in both dry and wet conditions. They have a mediocre wear rate. Compared with other, more expensive, premium tires. I think that they are very well worth the money.

I bought this tyres a year ago for my Mazda 6(2.0 petrol, 150 bhp). The tyres aren't noisy, they are confy and to be honest it gives you a little bit of courage when you go fast around corners because they stick pretty good to the road. Overall, I'm quite impressed about them, but the wear is just unbelievable. I have driven the car since I have this tyres for 9k miles and the front have like 2-3mm until they get to the "it's time to change me"sign. Apart from the wear, I am pretty happy with them!

Those tyres are best buy. I use them on a Mazdaspeed3, with several mods.
Previously, I had PS4, which were great, but wear was really bad. So I tought I should give those a try. Probably the wear will be worse, but the handling, dry grip and breaking were comparable, a little bit better on the PS4 but not miles away.

Hello everyone ! I have waited a long time to change the Nexen N8000 225/50/17 98W tires, which have reached a 4mm profile wear with these Falken Azenis KF510, 225/50/17 98Y. I was not very pleased with Nexen, especially at the comfort they were suffering. At braking, maneuverability, noise, they were exemplary, so they did not cushion the small bumps of the road. I have read many good things here about Falken, I have seen that they have done well in many tests, especially the Azenis range in particular. Surprising for me is that I did not feel great change for the better after I exchanged. Nothing has changed for good or bad. Everything is the same as with the old Nexen. I was expecting higher comfort from Falken. I can not say WOW! , What a change ! My conclusion is that Nexen is producing very good tires !!! :)

So I purchased these 20,000kms ago on the back of your recommendation and have not been disappointed.
I've got a big modern RWD S/Charged Manual Australian Sports Sedan now with 600hp, any tyre would struggle with the massive torque numbers(900Nms), these are no exception, more of a GT tyre than a track tyre, I drive with T/C on and the rubber does a stella job of holding on, accelerates well, loads of grip in the front (245 35 19s) when tipping it in. Back end is good, nice and progressive as the limit gets exceeded, quiet on the Motorway, roars a little on the coarse chip B roads in my area...not excessive.
Just Racked up 20,000kms , the fronts have about half wear left, the backs with having to tame the beast is about two thirds worn. I've dropped the recommended pressures and have gone for 38fr and 36rr, found that the rears were wearing in the middle from over inflation or heat.
Epic in the wet, stable at big numbers... Love the tyre...Bang for your buck nothing comes close in my mind.

Cheers from NZ

Given 87% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa D (215/45 R17 W) on mostly town for 50 average miles
the tyres have only done 50 odd miles so this might seem a little pointless , but will give another review after about 500 miles, lets get this cleared up first as with any new tyre it will feel different from a worn tyre be it premium or mid range with say 2/3 ml left, i had bf goodrich g- force winter tyres on with 3 ml left, the first thing i noticed after about 1 mile its a quiet tyre. i have had contis goodyear michelin, i never buy budget tyres or ditch finders as i call them, i am no fan of conti as they are noisey and wear quite quickly.the fk510 gives firm positive feed back, to the steering wheel, you know what is happening and the car feels secure and precise, the 20 mile drive home with the tyres and the road was damp, but as with new tyres they need a few miles on them to bed in, so could not' test' them out.

Given 90% while driving a Ford Focus ST225 (225/40 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 12,500 spirited miles
Excellent UHP tyres worth the buy, I have been driving on them for the last two and a half years (from their market release) and they have never let me down. The scores on tyre tests against competition also confirm it - they are a top scorer both in the dry and in the wet. My tip: if you have a FWD car with lots of torque/power and a "heavy" nose (like the ST) I recommend them since they really have a strong sidewall for confident cornering and steering while they grip extraordinary well. They have a good price and are the best buy in the category. They have proven well till now so I mounted another set of all new FK510 last week.

I have a front wheel drive car over 300 bhp! These tyres grip so well I can now actually put the power down! So happy with them and the price is great! Keep these reasonably valued and I will buy again! 5 stars!

Given 90% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giulietta (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Much better grip and feed back than previous Dunlop Sportmaxx RTs previously fitted which also wore fairly quickly. Extra confidence in the wet especially noticeable. Noise and ride comfort seem fairly similar. After 4K miles too early to say much on wear. Price was well below premium tyres, ie Pirelli, Dunlop etc and little above some of the real budget stuff, with a level of performance that would appear to be pretty much on par with premium alternatives.

Given 83% while driving a Vauxhall Astra GTC (245/40 R20) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Tyres feel good in the dry. As some of the reviews say they have slow feel initially during a fast turn but then they bite and grip very well. They are good in the wet too and have never lost traction. Feed back is good too you can actually feel what the wheels are doing and can feel the speed you are carrying into a corner. The wear is brilliant so far. Had them 3000 miles now and hardly anything has worn down even with my 200 hp astra gtc biturbo. As I write this the winter weather has hit and temperatures have dropped and you can feel a difference. I don't drive like a mug but you certainly can tell they don't like the cold, but afterall they are a summer tyre. Price is a big advantage too compared to the continental the car came with but seeming falken are made my dunlop quality remains high.
