Falken Azenis FK510 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 142 reviews

Owners broadly rate the Falken Azenis FK510 as a grippy, confidence-inspiring ultra-high-performance tire, with strong praise for dry grip and consistently good wet grip. Around a quarter to a third of owners also highlight strong value for money, plus generally good ride comfort and acceptable-to-quiet road noise. The main recurring drawback is wear: around one in five owners complain of short tread life, and a smaller group also report that performance can tail off as the tire gets worn.

I fitted these to my 2003 E Class estate which has 306bhp and more torque. I regularly drive through Europe and on the autobahn at high speeds also. I tend to wear summer tires from April thru November.

I have covered about 20,000 miles - in all conditions in many countries through Europe - including a stormy drive over the Col du Galibier at 2,642m(!) with them and I can confirm that they are excellent in all conditions. Surefooted, predictable and stable at speed. They are also comfortable, though perhaps they are a little noiser than the previous Continental Premium Contact MO spec that I had, but not to a significant degree.

My purchase was based on the tests from AutoBild and Autocar, which were on 17". These tires are good value too and four tires cost the same as the equivalent Michelin Pilot Sport 4s.

Replaced Michelin PS4 in search for something quieter and more comfortable without losing grip. They fullfilled the expectations on that. Thay are very grippy on the dry, and quiet and comfortable for a sporty tire. Wet performance was very good too, although I didn't put them trough as many difficult tests as I did with the PS4.
Main weakness was the sttering feedback/precision. They are just ok on that area, and could not compare at all with the sharp, highly responsive PS4. Maybe raising the pressure would help, but I didn't explore it as I did not want to compromise the comfort.
Due to a change of car, I could not test the wear properly, but thay did not look like they wer going to wear too fast. Average life was expected.

The price was really good, and these are some of the best tires available in this class. They are surprisingly quiet (a lot quieter than the 6 year-old Viking tyes I had before), and reasonably comfortable. The road feedback is really good, and they don't feel soft, such as the old ones, which weren't reinforced.

Purchased my MINI Cooper S 6months ago and was shocked to see the prices of PS4 for MINI fitment in my country. 215/40/18 is gonna set be back about $1040 SGD after "discounts". Was given the option of Falken FK510 through recommendation but was hesitant to go ahead as I normally go ahead with either Michelin, Goodyear or Pirelli. Thank god I made the leap of faith.

Going through corners spiritually and having an average rpm of 4k for acceleration on a daily basis with 20,000km done and these tires are only down at 60%.

Dry handling is amazing for its value, just a tad bit less grippy comparable to PS4 but it's really negliable. Still till date one of the best handling summer tires I've fitted on.
Wet handling is fault less. Minimal pull towards the side for Aquaplaning even at 90kmph.
Comfort too is an immediate difference after changing out Stock Tires (Pirelli P7 Runflat). But yeah, runflats comfort are horrible.
Will definitely fit them on again if the prices for PS4 is still more than S$50/piece.

Firstly were fitted in my previous car (Skoda Octavia II). Tires are a bit loud in my opinion, and the sidewalls are hard. I need to avoid potholes because of the stiffness of the wall (I always keep the right preasure in tires).
Good value for money. Tire for people who don't mind to have less comfort, but focus on safety and driving pleasure.

I had previously Michelin Primacy fitted on Renault Latitude 175Hp as stock tires 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 tire 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 tires, I have no indication of how long will last, but until now no visible sign of wearing.

The best tires 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 tire 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 tires 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

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 tires a year ago for my Mazda 6(2.0 petrol, 150 bhp). The tires 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 tires 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!
