In this comparison, we will examine two summer tyres: the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and the Falken Azenis FK510. Both tyres have been subjected to multiple tests, and we will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each based on their performance in these tests.
The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is a touring summer tyre, made in Hungary, Poland, France, and Italy. It holds an 89% rating on our website. It competes strongly in rolling resistance, with several tests, such as AutoMotorSport and Autobild, ranking it best in this aspect. The tyre also shows a good performance in wet braking and wet handling. However, it has a particular weakness in aquaplaning, as noted by automotorsport 2022. Another downside is its slightly increased wear rate, as reported by ADAC 2021.
On the other hand, the Falken Azenis FK510 is a summer tyre made in Japan and Turkey. It has a slightly higher rating of 90% on our website. The Falken Azenis FK510 has been replaced by a newer tyre, the Falken Azenis FK520. In terms of strengths, the FK510 performs very well in the areas of interior noise and wet handling, as observed by ADAC. Additionally, the tyre has a good grip in both wet and dry conditions, according to automotorsport 2022. Conversely, its weaknesses include aquaplaning, balance issues during dry braking, response behavior, and lane change safety. It is also noted to be more suited for less demanding vehicles in terms of driving dynamics.
In terms of mutual test positions, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 ranks higher than the Falken Azenis FK510 in tests such as AutoMotorSport and Gute-Fahrt. However, in the ADAC test, the Falken Azenis FK510 surpasses the Bridgestone Turanza T005, ranking at position 1 out of 17, mainly due to its superior wet handling and interior noise.
In conclusion, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 excels in rolling resistance, wet braking, and wet handling but falters in aquaplaning and wear rate. Meanwhile, the Falken Azenis FK510 stands out in interior noise, wet handling, and grip but has some issues concerning aquaplaning, dry braking, and driving dynamics. Overall, the choice between these two tyres will depend on your priorities as a driver and the specific requirements of your vehicle.
