  • The Falken Azenis RS820 delivers convincing curve stability and secure driving characteristics with short braking distances on dry roads. Testers appreciated its harmonious handling with smooth transitions when pushing the limits. On wet surfaces, Falken reacted somewhat more aggressively to load changes compared to the top performers. The tire showed particularly strong performance on dry surfaces with impressive cornering stability, though it struggled slightly with aquaplaning issues, where it ranked last in the curved aquaplaning test. Slightly louder rolling noise was also noted as a minor drawback.

  • The most budget-friendly option in the test, but the Falken Azenis RS820 struggled to meet the high demands of the powerful BMW M4. While it performed adequately on regular roads, it showed instability at higher speeds and quickly reached its limits on the racetrack. The tire's front-to-rear grip balance wasn't well matched, making it difficult to maintain the desired line through corners. It also demonstrated weak wet grip and poor aquaplaning resistance combined with higher rolling resistance and more noticeable road noise.

Very good and predictable tire on wet.similar traction to michelin ps4s. Dry handling is great for street tire,but after 7-8 hard laps on 3.2km track they start to feel soft and degrade slowly. Very good tire for beginners because it is not snappy and traction does not lose instantly on limit.

Given 81% while driving a Nissan 370Z (275/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
After a long process of deliberating which tires to fit on my 370z, I decided to give the new RS820s a try.

And up to now I have to say I’m really very happy with them. They replaced a set of Michelin Pilot 4Ss, which again, as we all know they’re a great tire.

The Falken RS820 is a little quieter at motorway speed, useful in a car that’s known for being quite noisy.

They are more temperature sensitive than the Michelins were and will definitely wear quicker but the Falkens definitely feel better under braking where in the dry, from 70mph the 370z could use almost 100% of it’s total braking capability before any ABS intervention.

In the wet, that was still around 3/4 which is impressive nonetheless.

When the limits of grip are breached, the breakaway is predictable and “friendly” with the added bonus of giving the car a slightly more pointy front end compared to the Michelins.

I do think the Michelins are a better all round tire for day to day use, but the Falkens come out on top in terms of sheer performance and added driver engagement.

Will definitely fit again.

Usually run FK520 tires where possible on my cars, but a recent purchase led me to try the RS820 due to the size. The tires are great in wet and dry conditions and i thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a high mid range tire.
