“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.”

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community opinion on the Toyo Proxes Sport line (including variants like the Sport 2 and A/S+) is generally positive, with users praising their value, quietness, and wet weather performance, though some note a lack of widespread independent reviews. Discussions heavily feature questions about real-world performance, comparisons to legacy benchmarks like Michelin, and specific sizing or efficiency concerns.
Based on 13 community posts
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.
“Funny, I just had this conversation in r/ecoboostmustang . I was in this exact boat when I first started out autocrossing. I got on 200 TW for 2020 but continued to HPDE on the daily summer tires. Indy 500 - Spring 2019 to Winter 2020 - These take an INCREDIBLE amount of abuse for the money. 30+ autocrosses, 2 HPDEs, 18,000 miles G-Max RS - Fall 2020 to Summer 2021 - Only bummer is they're directional, you technically shouldn't rotate. 10 HPDEs, 15,000 miles Falken FK510 - Spring 2020 to Summer 2020 - HARD NO from me. I corded a set in 10,000 miles between daily & 6 HPDEs.”
“The Falken Azenis FK510 would be my choice of what you have listed, not that either the Conti or Nitto is a bad tire... but on my Corvette I had Nexen N'Fera SU1 and absolutely loved them and drove rather... aggressively.”
“Got a full set of FK510 for my model 3 and I luv em, the low profile really shows off the red performance calibers.”

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
