Today, we'll discuss and compare two powerful tyres: Falken Azenis FK520 and Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127. Produced by their respective renowned manufacturers, Falken and Hankook, both tyres have displayed commendable performance in recent tests.
The Falken Azenis FK520 is an updated version of the Azenis FK510. The tyre, designed in Japan and made in Turkey, is a summer tyre with a UUHP subtype. It proudly receives an overall rating of 82% in our in-house test results. Top performances in Autobild's test included high resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning and lower exterior noise, ensuring a quieter, smoother drive. However, Azenis FK520 positioned nine out of ten in ACE tests and eighth out of 50 in Autobild's performance list. Notably, the Azenis FK520 performance was impressive on dry ground but displayed limited side guide on wet surfaces.
On the other hand, we have Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127. Manufactured in Korea and widely used by Audi and BMW, this summer tyre performs tremendously in these renowned car models. It gets an overall rating of 81% on our platform. Its highest achievement includes first position in a pool of 50 competitors in Autobild's tests with remarkable wet and dry braking. Although, one point to note is that its average mileage could be better. Outperforming Azenis FK520, the Ventus S1 evo3 K127 took seventh place in ACE's performance ranking.
So, which one to go for? While both tyres offer quality, if you prefer quiet, dry drives, the Falken Azenis FK520 would likely serve you better. However, if top-performance on both wet and dry surfaces is your prime concern, Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 K127 shines brighter. We suggest our users think about their driving conditions and hours before deciding one. Manufacturers of both these tyres continue to innovate and improve. Therefore, keep following our page for the latest updates on these and other brands.
