Comparing two summer tyres, the Falken Azenis FK520 and Linglong Sport Master, there are certain notable factors to consider. Both models have impressively performed in our tests, with the Falken Azenis receiving 75% in our rating while Linglong Sport Master received 64%. Manufactured in Turkey, the Falken Azenis FK520 stakes its place as a top-performing UUHP tyre. Its predecessor model was the Falken Azenis FK510.
On the other hand, the Linglong Sport Master, a UHP tyre, is a newcomer to the market with no previous models. The manufacturer Linglong promises high performance from this model.
Both tyres have been featured in comparative Autobild tests with a total of 50 tyres. Here the Falken Azenis FK520 ranked 8th, lauded for its Aquaplaning - longitudal performance and lower exterior noise. Meanwhile, the Linglong Sport Master impressively secured 7th position, majorly credited for having minimal exterior noise.
According to Autobild 2023 test summaries, Falken Azenis FK520 showcased convincing dry track performance and short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces. On the flip side, its limiting factor was reduced lateral grip under wet conditions.
The Linglong Sport Master was praised for its short wet and dry braking distances, quiet noise levels, and economical price. Notably, it had its own setbacks of very low mileage, tendencies of understeering in dry handling, and moderate comfort.
In conclusion, if you're seeking a tyre with better overall test results, the Falken Azenis FK520 stands out. It offers excellent performance on dry tracks, superior Aquaplaning qualities, and quieter drive - qualities well-suited for summer. Nevertheless, the Linglong Sport Master offers a very compelling alternative with its competitive price range and quieter noise levels, as long as the potential mileage limitation is manageable for your driving needs.
