In this comparison, we will look at two popular summer tyres: the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Falken Azenis FK510. Our website assigned an overall rating of 85% to the Dunlop tyre and a rating of 90% to the Falken one. The Falken Azenis FK510 has since been replaced by the Falken Azenis FK520.

Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2:
The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is an Ultra-High Performance (UUHP) tyre developed for summer use. It is designed for both high-speed stability and excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The tyre performs particularly well in aquaplaning resistance, both cross and longitudinal, as seen in the Autozeitung and Gute-Fahrt tests, where it ranked 8th and 3rd, respectively, out of the total contenders. It also achieved a 6th place in the ADAC test, and an impressive 3rd place in GTÜ test. The Dunlop tyre's rolling resistance is also noteworthy.

Falken Azenis FK510:
Manufactured in Japan and Turkey, the Falken Azenis FK510 is a summer tyre that has ranked consistently high in various tests. It secured the top position in the ADAC test, where its best features were identified as interior noise and wet handling. In the Autozeitung test, the tyre ranked 5th, while it secured strong 3rd and 4th positions in Autobild and EVO tests respectively. The Falken FK510 also claims the 5th position in both Automotorsport and Sportscars tests. The tyre has a well-balanced performance, with the best scores in exterior noise, price/value, and rolling resistance (as seen in Autobild test). However, it has a slightly higher fuel consumption as per the ADAC 2021 summary.

Verdict:
Overall, the Falken Azenis FK510 appears to be a better tyre when considering mutual tests positions and results. With its top scores in wet handling, interior and exterior noise, price/value ratio, and rolling resistance, it showcases a well-balanced performance profile. However, the tyre has a slightly higher fuel consumption as per the ADAC 2021 summary.

In comparison, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 shows strengths in aquaplaning resistance (cross and longitudinal) and rolling resistance, as well as a generally good performance in various tests.

Therefore, in summary, the Falken Azenis FK510 is the better tyre overall, excelling in multiple test results and offering better value for money. It's important to note that the FK510 has been replaced by the newer Falken Azenis FK520, which can also be considered for good tyre performance.
