satisfactory
Ranked #9 of 10
The Falken Azenis FK510 secured the 9th spot among 10 competitors, receiving a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' This moderate dynamic summer tire showcased commendable resistance to aquaplaning and provided good riding comfort, distinguishing itself as the absolute best in the disciplines of aquaplaning-cross and comfort.

Despite these limitations, its strengths in specific conditions highlight its potential suitability for drivers prioritizing aquaplaning resistance and comfort.

good
Ranked #8 of 10
The Falken Azenis FK510 finished 8th out of 10 competitors, securing a final rating of 'Good'. This tire displayed acceptable wet braking performance, alongside commendable grip in both wet and dry conditions. Notably, the soon-to-be-available successor, the Falken Azenis FK520, is anticipated by many. However, areas of improvement were identified, including a tendency for aquaplaning, a lack of balance during dry braking, responsiveness issues, and a decrease in safety during lane changes. These drawbacks suggest the tire is better suited for vehicles with less demanding dynamic needs. Moreover, it emerged as a cost-effective choice, particularly recommended for those prioritizing price without compromising on essential safety in wet conditions.
