Looking for a comparison of Falken Azenis FK520 to tyres that are made in similar dimensions? Here you can find detailed information based on tests, reviews and manufacturer's data.
When comparing the Falken Azenis FK520 and Toyo Proxes Sport 2, it's crucial to consider the details from various tyre tests and individual attributes of each tyre. Let's delve into these two well-respected products from tire manufacturing giants Falken and Toyo, respectively.
The Falken Azenis FK520, a summer, UUHP tyre, is a successor to the Falken Azenis FK510. With a rating of 75%, it shows relative improvement. The tyre impressively placed 8th in both the Autozeitung and ADAC tests, amidst a competition of 10 and 18 tyres respectively. Testers from TyreReviews.com and Autobild cited 'convincing performance on dry tracks and short dry and wet braking distances' as well as 'low exterior noise' as significant strengths of the FK520 model. However, a weakness in 'limited lateral control on wet surfaces' was highlighted.
On the other hand, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 with a rating of 72% is a summer, UHP tyre. It fared better than the FK520 in the Autozeitung test, placing 7th out of 10. In the ADAC testing, the Proxes Sport 2 fell short, obtaining 11th position out of 18 tested tyres. Testers praised the tyre for 'balanced driving behavior on wet and dry tracks, and short dry braking distances' but commented negatively on the 'limited mileage performance and high price,' leading to a downgrade. The Autobild test noted 'wet circle cornering' as one of its defining attributes.
In summary, both tyres offer impressive performance, with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The Falken Azenis FK520 stood out for its convincing performance on dry tracks and low noise levels but needs to improve on wet surface control. In contrast, the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 shone in balanced driving behavior on different surfaces but fell somewhat short in its pricing and mileage performance.
Given the data and test results, the FK520 could be the better overall tyre for those seeking high performance on dry tracks and comfortable drive, while the Proxes Sport 2 could best satisfy those who value balanced driving characteristics on both dry and wet tracks, and who aren't primarily concerned about price and mileage performance.
