In this comparison, we look at two popular tires: the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and the Falken Azenis FK510. Proudly holding the Dutch flag, the Vorti leans towards superior performance on wet surfaces with commendable Aquaplaning resistance and wet braking capabilities, while swiftly coming from Japan and Turkey, Azenis FK510 prides itself on its comfort, exterior noise and strong value for money feature.
In common tests carried out by renowned organizations like Autobild, ADAC, Gute-Fahrt, and Automotorsport, the Falken held an edge over the Vredestein in terms of sheer scores with us, showing a 74% rating as compared to Vredestein's 55%. Remarkable strengths of the Azenis involved features like comfort, noise generation, price/value ratio and rolling resistance. In contrast, Vredestein’s Ultrac Vorti proved its handle on wet surfaces.
Specifically, the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti ranked 3rd out of 9 in Autobild’s test primarily because of its promising aquaplaning, wet braking, and handling capabilities. In other tests, it ranked slightly low with positions like 7th and 11th in tests by ADAC and Automotorsport, due to its mileage, exterior noise and dry lane changing characteristics.
On the other hand, the Falken Azenis FK510 ranked well in tests with positions like 3rd in Automotorsport’s and 6th in Autobild’s tests, standing out for its exterior noise reduction, wet braking, and overall safety in wet conditions. However, it stood 8th in the ADAC test primarily due to its mileage performance.
The Azenis FK510 model preceded the FK520 under the Falken's summer tires category. This new model continues to maintain the superior features of FK510, aiming to provide an enhanced driving experience.
Overall, the Falken Azenis FK510 scores seem to have an edge over the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti in terms of overall performance. However, the choice ultimately depends on the specific requirements of the drivers and their preference for features such as handling on wet surfaces, noise levels, and value for money.
