When it comes to summer tyres, Falken Azenis FK510 and Yokohama Advan Sport V105 are two models that stand out. Both manufactured by Japanese companies—Falken and Yokohama respectively—they cater to a similar market, but how do they compare?

Falken Azenis FK510 comes from factories in Japan and Turkey and has been evaluated with a score of 71% by our team. This tyre's strengths include comfort, wet braking, wet handling, exterior noise, price/value, and rolling resistance. In the Autobild test with 50 tyres, it came in the respectable 15th place. Moreover, in the GTÜ test of 14 tyres, it stood at the admirable 5th position. Note that this model has been replaced and the Falken Azenis FK520 is the latest offering from Falken.

On the other hand, Yokohama Advan Sport V105 is yet to be rated by our team. Its position in tyre tests was not as consistent as the Falken Azenis FK510. It came 26th in Autobild tests and 11th in GTÜ's tests, suggesting a significant room for improvement. It's worth noting that a newer model to replace the Advan Sport V105 has not been introduced by Yokohama yet.

In summary, the Falken Azenis FK510 has a notable list of strengths and an impressive performance in mutual tests, outperforming the Yokohama Advan Sport V105 in every comparison. This tyre provides a comfortable driving experience with good wet braking and handling abilities and has a pleasing price/value ratio. This model has already been replaced by a newer model, suggesting continual improvements from the manufacturer.

The Yokohama Advan Sport V105, while yet to be rated by our team, could not sustain a consistent performance in mutual tests compared to the Falken tyre. However, if it aligns with your specific needs and preferences, it might still be a good choice. Keep an eye out for the arrival of any new model that may address the existing drawbacks and bring enhancements.
