Today, we are comparing two summer tyres: the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Falken Azenis FK510, both highly rated by our experts, at 77% and 74% respectively. Let's take a closer look at how each perform.
The Kumho Ecsta PS71 is known for its excellent aquaplaning performance, both in longitudinal and cross according to ADAC and ACE tests. It finished 10th in the ADAC test, where it competed against 16 other tyres, and 2nd in the ACE test out of 11 tyres, making it one of the strongest performers in terms of aquaplaning. It also showed impressive exterior noise control on the ACE test. In terms of weaknesses, there are no significant deficiencies to state.
In contrast, the Falken Azenis FK510 standouts for its interior noise control and wet handling performance according to the ADAC test. It positioned quite well, finishing 8th out of 16 tyres tested. This tyre also handles exceptionally well in dry conditions, with Dry driving behavior and Dry handling noted as top features in the ACE test where it was the first positioned tyre. However, note that Autobild marked it as having a little higher fuel consumption.
Based on a comparison of performance and tests positions, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Falken Azenis FK510 both have their strengths and weaknesses. If aquaplaning resistance or exterior noise is your top priority, the Kumho tyre might be a better choice. Conversely, if dry driving behavior or interior noise control is more your speed, you might want to go with the Falken tyre. The Falken Azenis FK510 has been replaced by the newer Falken Azenis FK520.
In conclusion, both tyres provide exceptional performance and hold up well in professional testing. You can find more details and purchase both at Kumho Tyres and Falken Tyres.
