good
Ranked #7 of 11
The Falken Azenis FK520 secured the 7th position out of 11 contenders, achieving a final rating of 'Good'. This tire distinguished itself with excellent performance in aquaplaning resistance and unmatched ride comfort, leading its category in these disciplines. Testers praised its effective wet braking capabilities and secure aquaplaning properties. Its handling in curves was described as safe, albeit less dynamic, and it offered the best rolling comfort among its competitors. However, the tire was noted for its slightly delayed steering response and a somewhat indifferent balance on wet surfaces. Moreover, it showed a lesser steering spontaneity and experienced marginally longer braking distances on dry roads, aspects that were highlighted as areas for improvement.
