If you're deciding between the Semperit Speed-Life 2 and the Falken Azenis FK510, there are a few important factors you should consider. Despite the Semperit Speed-Life 2 being a worthy competitor, the Azenis FK510 frequently outperforms it in tyre tests, and it's highly recommended by experts.
The Falken Azenis FK510, made in Japan and Turkey, scored high in our review with a rating of 71%. This summer tyre has been notably replaced by the Falken Azenis FK520. It was tested by AutoBild and placed an impressive 6th out of 53 tyres, earning high marks for its exterior noise, price/value, and rolling resistance.
Its strengths are further reinforced by ACE's tyre test, in which it clinched the top spot, praised for its excellent dry driving behaviour, dry handling, exterior noise reduction, and wet handling and braking performances. Falken, the tyre's manufacturer, is renowned for producing high-quality pieces like the Azenis FK510.
On the other hand, the Semperit Speed-Life 2, a summer tyre model which has now been replaced by the Semperit Speed-Life 3, doesn't lag far behind with commendable test results. It was ranked 10th out of 11 tyres by ACE, with its rolling resistance being its best feature.
A comparison in AutoBild, however, placed it 30th amongst 53 tyres—an evident discrepancy that might cause potential buyers to question its overall performance. Although the data doesn't provide a specific rating for this tyre, the numbers suggest that it could offer solid performance for most drivers.
However, generally speaking, the Falken Azenis FK510 comes out ahead, offering a more impressive range of strengths and consistently higher scores in both the AutoBild and ACE tests. Both tyres offer competencies in their respect; however, a discerning buyer might opt for the Falken Azenis FK510 due to its superior test performance.
