If you are looking to compare Falken Azenis FK520 and the Nexen N fera Sport tyres, we can provide an in-depth analysis based on various tests.
Starting with the Falken Azenis FK520, manufactured by Falken, this UUHP summer tyre is known for its good performance when driven on both dry and wet surfaces. Accumulating a review rating of 75%, it shows exemplary wear and fuel consumption rates. However, some minor weaknesses include comfort concerns when on dry roads and slight deficiencies in aquaplaning and wet handling behaviour. Despite this, the FK520 has made a favourable impression in multiple tests. In ADAC, SportAuto and Autobild it managed to secure the 8th, 7th and 8th positions respectively.
On the other hand, we have the Nexen N fera Sport tyre, produced by Nexen. Being first equipment on the BMW 2-series Active Tourer, this UHP summer type tyre also demonstrates good characteristics on both dry and wet surfaces. It comes with high anticipated mileage and low fuel consumption, and is light in weight which should provide better handling. However, like the FK520, it also has minor issues with aquaplaning and slight dry road discomfort. In terms of test positions, it occupies the 10th spot in the ADAC test but is at the bottom in both the ACE and SportAuto tests, merely making it to the 9th and 11th positions respectively. Despite these rankings, the tyre's exterior noise is appreciated.
In conclusion, although both tyres have advantages such as good dry and wet surface performance, the Falken Azenis FK520 stands out due to its better rankings across the tests and its lower wear. However, if weight and fuel consumption is a primary concern, the Nexen N fera Sport could be the ideal choice. Ultimately, the choice between the two would depend on the specific requirements and driving conditions of the user.
It should also be noted that the Falken Azenis FK520 is the successor of the Falken Azenis FK510 model.
