Comparison: Falken Azenis FK510 vs. Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 vs. Fulda SportControl 2

When comparing the Falken Azenis FK510 and the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2, the performances of both tyres are quite distinct. Both offer impressive features and substantiate their positions in the market, but the eventual selection depends on your individual requirements.


The Falken Azenis FK510 is made in Japan and Turkey, and it is rated at 74% on our site. This summer tyre demonstrates remarkable interior noise control, wet handling, and minimal exterior noise. In comparison performance on multiple tests, it often appears in the upper half. For instance, it achieved the first position out of 17 tested tyres in an ADAC test.


However, it isn't flawless, as seen by its slightly higher fuel consumption recorded during the ADAC 2021 test. Despite this, the Falken Azenis FK510 is well-rounded and especially proficient on dry and wet surfaces. Notably, it has been replaced by the Falken Azenis FK520.


On the other hand, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2, a UUHP summer tyre, excels in cross and longitudinal aquaplaning. It also has superior rolling resistance, as demonstrated by its performance in the "Autozeitung" test. The tyre ranked third in the GTÜ test and sixth in the ADAC test, making it a formidable contender.


With a rating of 79% on our site, this tyre garners respect for its impressive capabilities. However, it's important to note that its position in tests varies, and it doesn't always rank as high as the Azenis FK510. The impressive performance of Dunlop in aquaplaning conditions indicates its advantageous grip on wet surfaces.


In conclusion, when choosing between the Falken Azenis FK510 and the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2, it boils down to individual user preference. The responsiveness in wet conditions of both tyres and the noise efficiency of the Falken tyre are key factors to consider. Similarly, the Dunlop's higher withholding performance in wet conditions could tip the scale in its favour for some users. Overall, both tyres are excellent selections with evident strengths and weaknesses.
