Comparison: Yokohama Advan Sport V107 vs. Falken Azenis FK520

The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 and the Falken Azenis FK520 tyres provide vastly different performance outcomes, prompting a careful and comprehensive comparison.

The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is a strong summer tyre with an overall rating of 42%. It stands out for its very good performance on dry surfaces, and its okay performance on wet roads, as evident from the ADAC and Autobild tests. These tyres, however, demonstrate some weakness in aquaplaning, with the predicted lifespan and higher wear considered as drawbacks.

On the other hand, the Falken Azenis FK520, which is a successor of the Falken Azenis FK510, scores a higher rating at 75%. This Ultra High Performance tyre (UUHP) features good dry road properties, much like the Yokohama, but also adds good wet properties, and is known for its high predicted mileage and low abrasion. On the downside, it has been noted to have minor weaknesses when it comes to dry road driving comfort, aquaplaning resistance, and wet handling.

In terms of mutual test positions, while both tyres show respectable testing outcomes, the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 generally performed better, taking the sixth and fourth position in the ADAC and Autobild tests respectively, out of 18 and 50 total tyres tested. The Falken Azenis FK520, while not far off, took the eighth position in both tests.

In conclusion, Yokohama may be the ideal choice for those preferring a tyre with excellent dry road properties and are less concerned about wear. The Falken, on the other hand, would be a better fit for someone aiming for a well-balanced tyre with good overall properties in both wet and dry conditions, and an increased mileage.
