In the competitive world of tyres, two high-performing summer tyres stand out. They are the Fulda SportControl 2 and Falken Azenis FK510. After going through multiple tests, the results reveal notable strengths and weaknesses for each tyre, helping drivers make informed choices.
Made by the renowned Fulda, the SportControl 2 showcases impressive features, gaining an overall rating of 84%. The tyre shines in terms of comfort and aquaplaning - cross, with a commendable rolling resistance. Despite these strengths, it should still be noted that the tyre's tests pointed out an extended wet braking distance and moderate lateral control on dry tracks. There's also room for improvement in direct steering response.
On the other hand, the Falken made Azenis FK510, which has now been replaced by the newer Falken Azenis FK520, performed well in different aspects too, achieving an overall rating of 74%. Its best features are comfort, exterior noise level, and rolling resistance. It also offers a good price-to-value ratio, making it a great choice for budget-conscious drivers. However, the tyre recorded a strongly oversteering handling behavior on wet tracks and only a satisfactory lateral control of the rear axle on dry tracks, revealing areas for improvement.
When it comes to mutual test positions in the Autobild test, the Falken Azenis FK510 outperformed the Fulda SportControl 2, taking third place out of 52 tyres tested, compared to the latter's ninth place. While both tyres showed strengths in handling comfort, exterior noise, and rolling resistance, the FK510 showed better performance in terms of price/value.
In conclusion, both the Fulda SportControl 2 and Falken Azenis FK510 demonstrate commendable attributes, each boasting its unique strengths. Although the FK510 edged out the SportControl 2 in the Autobild test, both are solid choices. The ultimate selection would largely depend on individual drivers' specific needs and preferences.
