Comparison: Falken Azenis FK510 vs. Nokian zLine vs. Pirelli P ZERO


Today we will be comparing two summer tyre models: the Falken Azenis FK510 and the Nokian zLine. These tyres have been tested by some of the most reputable testing organisations like Automotorsport, ACE, Autobild, and GTÜ.

Falken Azenis FK510 is made by Falken, a Japanese and Turkish tyre company. This summer tyre received an overall rating of 71%. Its noteworthy features according to test results include exterior noise, wet braking, and wet safety. In terms of positions in mutual tests, the Azenis FK510 ranked third in Automotorsport and Autobild, first in ACE, and fifth in GTÜ. It should be noted that Azenis FK510 has been replaced by Falken Azenis FK520.


On the other hand, Nokian zLine is made by Nokian. The Nokian zLine hasn't received our rating yet but has shown particularly good behaviour in dry handling. In mutual tests, it ranked sixth in Automotorsport and GTÜ, and third in ACE. Unfortunately, it sits at a distant 20th position in the Autobild's 52-tyre test.


In conclusion, the Falken Azenis FK510 outperforms the Nokian zLine in all mutual tests. However, each tyre has its strengths, with the Falken Azenis boasting excellent noise control and wet safety, and the Nokian zLine showing excellent dry driving behaviour. Nevertheless, because of its outstanding overall performance and replacement by a newer model, Falken Azenis FK510 seems a good investment.
