Falken Azenis FK510 Reviews - Page 9

Given 87% while driving a Audi A6 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro (245/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 average miles
Excelent tires in dry and wet conditions. Very good wear rate in consideration of higway use in a very hot summer season and a wet start autumn ( I live in Italy). No noise to report and a very confortable driving sensations. Higly raccomanded in consideration also about their performance/price ratio.

I have just had these fitted to the rear of my BMW and they were £160 fitted at Bracknell Tyres. Compared to the OEM Bridgestone S001 RFT that were originally fitted these were £60 per tyre cheaper so £120 cheaper for the pair.

I did like the Bridgestone S001 and they wore well at least 25,000 miles and were excellent all round, however after reading the reviews on these Falkens I thought id give them a go. They are A rated for wet grip and C rated for fuel efficiency which is better than the Bridgestones.

So far so good, I will review again at 10,000 miles, but wet and dry grip is excellent and they are progressive when driven spiritly. If these tyres last 20,000 miles I will be very happy with them so lets see.

Runflat model 225/45 R18 front and 255/40 R18 rear. Excellent grip in the dry and very goog in the wet. Best cost/performance.

Given 90% while driving a Jaguar XKR (275/35 R20 W) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
Excellent tyre. They tamed my 500+BHP rear wheel drive car. They do dry grip and wet grip in a manner that impresses just like a top tier tyre. I was expecting them to be really good, but they were better than that.

I simply love these tyres... They replaced the Pirelli Conti Sports thst were standard fitment on this car from new and it was the best thing I ever did... The car has slight performance enhancements and delivers over 370kw at the rear wheels and these tyres have transformed it... Simply brilliant in normal every day driving conditions and outstanding when they need to be... If you have a higher performance car and enjoy driving do not bother with anything else... Pound for pound the best value for money bar none!

Do not be a tyre snob . I have had Contis , Michelin and so forth on my cars and these Falkens are just as good and a lot cheaper . On the road you will not tell the difference . They are in the top five in most tyre reviews and only a small percentage adrift the winners .Try them you will not be disappointed

These are excellent tyres for the money. I was between Conti Premium 6 and these and the prices was just to good to pass on. Did not regret It, I would consider them the Best Buy in UHP Class.

Given 77% while driving a Skoda Octavia (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
These were good tyres except one aspect,,that being wear rate. After 20.000 miles the tyres are done. I expected at least 4 to 6 K more since my driving is mixed and rarely did I push them to the limit in b roads. Dunlop sport Maxx rt2 hope will give the mileage o want by keeping all the other good properties of the Falken.

Excellent tyre, much better than the run flats they replaced. Rounds off the bumps and much quieter

Given 87% while driving a Ford Falcon FGX XR8 (275/30 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 500 average miles
Waited until these came into country after watching your video about them "Top 11 Tyres for 2018 Summer).
Glad I waited and such a good price. Was looking at MPS4s but in NZ they are about $2k fitted. Saved about NZ$700 fitting these.
The Tyre Guy over inflated them so were quite harsh until I went with Factory PSI settings (39 fr and 41rr)
I've got a Large RWD Saloon making 500HP and first thoughts that with the wide 3.5 grooves, it might be hard getting HP down to the road. Once the mould release wore off AND get up to Temp...not too bad. A little Understeery at first when tipping it in on throttle, but then grips and behaves nicely.
In the wet, these things are epic, traction down is out of this world and tracks nicely through High Speed corners.
Previous tyres were NEXEN SU1s
Not sure of wear as have only had them on 3 weeks. If I manage 30000kms out of them will be stoked.
Thanks for suggesting these tyres, recommending them to anybody who listens.

Kia Motors (215/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
The tyres were fitted right after my 2nd falken ze914 set...wanted to try a japanese tyre by falken but after reaching 7.000 miles i suppuse its time to admit that the ze914 where quite better overall...

The worst thing with the 510s is their rate of wear....they wear damn fast...i will be surprised if they last 12K miles...

The second rhing to mention is that they could be a bit better in slippery roads...914s were better,given 9/10

But other than these,the tyres handle beautifully under pressure,their sides are solid and make you feel confident
