Comparison: Continental PremiumContact 6 vs. Falken Azenis FK510 vs. Fulda SportControl 2 vs. Bridgestone Turanza T001 vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 vs. Michelin Pilot Sport 5

In this article, we will compare two popular summer tyres: the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Falken Azenis FK510. These tyres have been tested in various conditions and situations, and we will provide a summary of their strengths and weaknesses based on the results obtained in multiple tests.


The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a touring summer tyre that has replaced the previous model, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. This tyre is manufactured in Slovakia, Germany, and the Czech Republic. For those looking for an even newer model, there's the Continental PremiumContact 7. According to the tests, the PremiumContact 6 stands out for its dry braking, dry handling, mileage, price/value, and dry steering response. It has achieved high rankings in several tests, often securing the top position. However, its weaknesses include reduced safety reserves during aquaplaning and delayed steering response, particularly in wet conditions.


On the other hand, the Falken Azenis FK510 is a summer tyre produced in Japan and Turkey. It has been replaced by the newer Falken Azenis FK520. The Azenis FK510 performs well in terms of comfort, exterior noise, price/value, rolling resistance, wet braking, and wet handling. It has also achieved good rankings in various tests, sometimes even winning some. However, this tyre has some deficits in aquaplaning, dry braking balance, response, and lateral stability in dry conditions. It is more suitable for less demanding vehicles in terms of driving dynamics.


When comparing the mutual test positions, the Continental PremiumContact 6 generally performs better, especially in dry conditions. It has secured better rankings in tests conducted by Autobild, AutoMotorSport, GTÜ, Autozeitung, ADAC, Gute-Fahrt, and EVO. However, the Falken Azenis FK510 has also achieved remarkable results, winning the ACE test and performing well in wet conditions.


In conclusion, both the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Falken Azenis FK510 are high-quality summer tyres suitable for different driving conditions and preferences. If you prioritize dry handling, braking, and mileage, then the Continental PremiumContact 6 might be a better choice for you. However, if comfort, exterior noise, and wet performance are more important to you, then the Falken Azenis FK510 could be a great option. Ultimately, you should consider your specific driving needs and preferences when making your final decision on which tyre to choose.
