Best test result: #1 of 20 in 2020 Auto Bild Summer Tyre Test (value)
“Faulken azenis fk510 tires Anyone running these , I’ve ordered a set of wheels and tires from steeda, unfortunately they do not have any nitto n555 g2 tires available i the sizes ive requested “nothing close infact to get a complete set” ive checked all the distributors thru my job and websites. They have however come up with a set of these 275/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears , in comparison the rears will sit approximately 1/2 lower then fronts which will eliminate some rake with the car. Does anyone have experience with these tires? Money wise ill save like 200$ though money is not a factor as oppse to my car came with 235”s and they have to go.”

Tire A
Falken Azenis FK510
Mixed
Community opinions on the Falken Azenis FK510 are generally mixed, balancing praise for their value pricing and strong wet-weather grip against complaints regarding soft sidewalls, rapid tread wear on heavy or track-driven vehicles, and handling that some drivers describe as "boaty." While many view them as a cost-effective alternative to premium tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, others note that recent price hikes and mixed performance in testing make them a secondary choice compared to dedicated track or alternative ultra-high-performance tires.
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
