Ranked #7 of 11
The Falken Azenis FK520 secured the 7th position out of 11 contenders, achieving a final rating of 'Good'.

Its handling in curves was described as safe, albeit less dynamic, and it offered the best rolling comfort among its competitors.

Ranked #8 of 20
Securing the 8th place among 20 competitors, the Falken Azenis FK520 earned a 'Satisfactory' final rating in a well-regarded tire evaluation. This performance tire demonstrated commendable driving capabilities on dry roads, characterized by short braking distances both on wet and dry surfaces, and impressively low noise levels.
