Falken Azenis FK510 Reviews - Page 8

I had previously Michelin Primacy fitted on Renault Latitude 175Hp as stock tyres when i bought the car and next i choose to fit the Azenis F510 on my car after your site reviews and recomandations. Comparing the two brands, i do not see much difference excepting the price. So, for a regular driver not a rally one, living in a mountain area with moderate summer temperature as 34 celsius during summer max, the cornering is smooth, with no indication of under/over-steering, lateral grip safe until 80 km/h and 65 km/h in needle cornering but these figures could be due to the car brand/type as Latitude is more comfort/family not a sport car.
During heavy rain, didn't noticed aquaplaning effect until 90 km/hr could be more, I haven't guts to push more ... As braking figures I have no clue how many meters, I do believe the site measurements, but stepping on the brake the ABS kick in late or almost none, indicating a good grip on asphalt .
I am not a proffesional tyre evaluator and my comments need to be considerrated accordingly but I do highly recommend to be bought. As I have around 7000km rolling on these tyres, I have no indication of how long will last, but until now no visible sign of wearing.

The best tyres I had so far,
Handling was nice rubber sticks to the road surprisingly well and grip when you taking off is amasing ...
I used to slide with different makes on the road or when I am taking off to spin it few time but not with those I had Michelin, Goodyear , Dunlop and I can say so far they performed the best maybe they were not as quiet as Goodyear for example but honestly you can not find any difference .Yes they are not top economic tyre but honestly difference was about less 100g of diesel extra per 100km and acceleration was awsome ...
I can say I have sporty tipe of driving and the same time cruising a lot on motorways and I can say Grip in wet Is supreme grip on dry very good as well maybe they have a bit better grip on wet lets say 1-2% better they are wearing out very nice I can say even slow compared to my Dunlop experience and Goodyear ...
Excuse me I do not know how to give you a proper review but I think I found my tyres and I do not think I will change it for other make ... maybe ... just maybe Michelin if they come of with something descent but pricewise and my experince will go for those

Replaced run flats on BMW 330D M Sport. Excellent tyre, lasted 28k miles on front

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.

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.

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 used a lot of different tyres, in all kind of price range. These tyres are the best i've ever had! So now both of my vehicles are using these tyres! Recommended!!

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!
