When comparing the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Falken Azenis FK520, it's clear that both tyres offer remarkable performance, with the FK520 being the successor of the FK510 from Falken.
The Kumho Ecsta PS71 holds a our rating of 76% and performs exceptionally well in specific areas such as Aquaplaning-Longitudal according to the ACE test. It's reported to have short braking distance on dry roads and good performance on wet surfaces. However, it falls a bit short in terms of comfort on dry roads, stability, and predicted lifespan. It’s also mentioned the PS71 has higher weight and increased tread wear. In overall tests such as the ADAC, Autobild, and ACE test, the PS71 landed in the 7th, 12th, and 13th positions respectively out of various total tyres in test, indicating a top-half performance.
On the other hand, the Falken Azenis FK520, a summer UUHP tyre made in Turkey, boasts a slightly lower our rating of 72%. The FK520 features a high predicted lifespan, low tread wear, and low fuel consumption, providing a good balance of performance on both dry and wet roads. However, it slightly underperforms in dry comfort, aquaplaning, and wet handling. Despite these minor weaknesses, the FK520 achieved 8th place in both the ADAC and Autobild tests and 9th in the ACE test, proving to have a top quartile performance overall.
To summarize, both of these tyres from Kumho and Falken offer great performance for summer conditions with some strengths and weaknesses. The Kumho Ecsta PS71 stands out in terms of aquaplaning while the Falken Azenis FK520 shines with its overall balance of features and lifespan. However, based on the overall positions in mutual test results, the FK520 slightly edges out the PS71 making it the more favorable choice in this comparison.
