The Azenis FK510 is Falken's Ultra High Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, performance sedans and modern muscle cars who want dry and wet traction and handling in a refined package.

Like all summer tires, the Azenis FK510 is not intended to be driven, stored nor serviced in near- or below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The Azenis FK510 is designed to deliver driver confidence in warm conditions, so like all Ultra High Performance Summer tires, it is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Falken Azenis FK510The Azenis FK510's 4D Nano Design tread compound is molded into an asymmetric, Adaptive Constant Pressure (ACP) pattern design. ACP improves distribution of pressure throughout the contact patch for enhanced directional stability and reduced stopping distances, and the wide, outboard shoulder blocks deliver the lateral grip required during performance driving. The tread compound was designed at the molecular level to optimize adhesion in wet conditions, and the Switchback Siping helps to maximize rubber-to-road contact during wet cornering. Four wide, circumferential grooves allow water to flow through the contact patch to resist hydroplaning.

Internal construction of the Azenis FK510 utilizes Falken's Tension Control Technology casing mold shape to provide a flexible middle sidewall area for reduced impact harshness and a rigid outside shoulder and bead area for handling capability. Its two wide, steel belts are reinforced by a hybrid Aramid and nylon undertread cap ply to provide added rigidity and high-speed stability.

Like all summer tires, the Azenis FK510 is not intended to be driven, stored nor serviced in near- or below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Note: Ultra High Performance Summer tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Ultra High Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. Compound cracking is not a warrantable condition because it occurs as the result of improper use or storage, tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.

Great tire for both dry and wet. Wet traction is impressive and I have gone through heavy rain storms with no problem. Dry traction on the other hand is just ok comparing to tires in the same category. Sidewall is stiff and provides good steering input, but it makes the ride uncomfortable, combined with the thick tread blocks, it's noisy and has slight vibration from the tread blocks. The noise is bearable, but I thought my wheel bearings have gone bad because of the tire noise. Also, the sidewall seems wider than most tires. With the same wheel, my front tires rub at full turn with these 225/45R17 Falken, while my old 245/40R17 Yokohama didn't rub at all. Overall, it's a good tire for all year around if noise and confort are not your priovities.

...The tires stick well, run smooth and are predictable. I will definitely buy more...

My car came with Falken Azenis FK510 tires on it. I upgraded to 14" front rotors and had to move to 18" wheels. I put 265/35R18 tires on front of my C5 Corvette. I have put about 10,000 combined city and highway miles on them, and have run 4 open road race events with speeds up to 165 mph. These events require DOT tires. The tires stick well, run smooth and are predictable. I will definitely buy more.

I just ordered some Falken Azenis FK460 A/S to drive when the temperatures are low in the winter.

These are the first Falkens I have owned. I am very happy with the performance and quality.

...Even with the quick response in weight transfers, it has a pretty soft sidewall great for cruising. They keep quiet very well as long as you stay with rotations and your alignment is good...

For people that want an honest opinion:

This tire is amazing. for the price as a UHP, this is by far the best tire for the performance, comfort, and tread life. I will be on my 3rd set in the spring, getting roughly 20-25k miles on each set, swapping at 3/32" left.

Performance: The response is better than most in this category, both wet and dry. You can feel when they want to give out, and when they do, it's very gradual and composed. They deal with hydroplaning very well for a UHP summer and wet contact traction is top tier.

NVH/Comfort: Even with the quick response in weight transfers, it has a pretty soft sidewall great for cruising. They keep quiet very well as long as you stay with rotations and your alignment is good. I saw so many other reviews saying how horrific they were in this category, and I can bet you they either did not rotate frequently enough or their alignment is $#!t. I've done rotations at 3,000 miles, and at 10,000 miles, barely noticed any difference in noise, but it was noticed.

Tread Wear: Another category that other reviewers had a problem with. It is a UHP Summer tire, you can't expect to get 30-40k miles unless all you do is highway driving. If that is really all you do and they wear down quick, then fix your alignment. I do not go easy on these tires and use them to their full capability probably about 10-20% of my miles, and I'll happily take 25k miles for these.

Overall, amazing tire, FOR THE PRICE, as a UHP summer. You could go with the DWS06+ if you wanted better tread life for close to the same price, but you won't get the performance of these. I've driven this car with both tires, and like I said, I can't wait to throw them on again in the spring.

I purchased these tires just a few days ago but I can already tell you I'm impressed. So far the only real difference between these and the P-P0s that originally came with the vehicle is the price. The ride is quiet, comfortable, and responsive. I would definitely purchase them again.

These tires on a BMW is so comfortable and quiet. I love these tires. The price is worth the comfort and ride. The handling is great. These tires are great for after market wheels and easier for wheel alignment. While there are other good tires on the market, these tires have excellent value 👌As soon as I drove off from the tire store I noticed a huge difference sound comfort and ride the previous tires felt like I was driving on top of gravel all the time. BMW and Mercedes owners will love these tires because of the quality and looks. I had Nexen Michelin
Toyo tires all of which are quality tires but
Falken you will notice the difference immediately which is great. My second vehicle will get these tires. Now keep in mind for Southern California they are great
