Falken - summer tyres 2026 - market overview, tests, reviews
In our comprehensive review of Falken summer tyres, we have meticulously selected a few standout models based on their performance in recent tests. One of the highlights is the **Falken e.Ziex**, which has consistently proven its prowess in various evaluations. Garnering a "very good" rating by Automotorsport in 2025 for the 215/55 R17 size, this tyre impressed with its superior safety on both wet and dry surfaces. Additionally, Autobild lauded the e.Ziex as "good" in their 2025 test, appreciating its low rolling resistance and commendable aquaplaning resistance. Despite this high praise, the 2023 Automotorsport test noted minor drawbacks, including increased slipping risk in puddles during cornering.
Also in the spotlight is the **Falken Azenis FK520**, which succeeds the previous FK510. This ultra-high-performance tyre (UUHP) is designed to provide exemplary handling and comfort. In the 2025 Autobild test, it secured an "exemplary" rating in the 255/55 R18 category, noted for its dynamic handling and low rolling resistance. While the 2025 ADAC test revealed some minor comfort and aquaplaning challenges, the FK520 demonstrated remarkable dry and wet braking performance. Moreover, the 2024 Automotorsport test underscores its robust aquaplaning preparedness.
Lastly, we review the **Falken Azenis FK510 SUV**, a model without a preceding generation but with a strong reputation in the SUV segment. The 2022 Autobild test for the 235/55 R18 size rated it "good", acknowledging its dynamic wet and dry traction and precision in steering. Earlier tests, such as the 2020 Gute-Fahrt evaluation, also praised its performance, although they pointed out a high rolling resistance and moderate traction in slush.
These selections illustrate Falken's commitment to delivering reliable and innovative tyre solutions, each maintaining a solid performance in both professional tests and real-world conditions.
