The Falken Azenis FK520 ranked fifth, excelling in straight aquaplaning resistance (75.5 km/h) and securing second place in wet braking (22.57m). Its low noise (71.7 dB) and balanced wet/dry grip cater to daily driving, though curved aquaplaning and sporty dynamics lagged behind UHP rivals.

The Falken Azenis FK520 earned second place with exemplary asphalt and off-road performance, combining dynamic handling, short wet/dry braking distances, and low rolling resistance. Its balanced comfort and efficiency made it a standout in mixed-terrain scenarios.

The Falken Azenis FK520 excelled in lateral aquaplaning resistance but struggled with wet traction and acceleration control, requiring cautious inputs to avoid wheelspin. While functional on dry tracks, it lacked the precision and confidence of top-tier competitors.

The Falken Azenis FK520 delivers steady performance with commendable durability, yet its impact is muted by lackluster wet grip and extended wet braking distances. Overall, it offers reliable longevity without pronounced standout features.

The Falken Azenis FK520 achieves a good overall safety rating, with a very short braking distance at 100 km/h on dry roads offset by less-than-optimal steering feedback that becomes more pronounced with rising temperatures. Its high grip level ensures stability during sudden evasive maneuvers, though the rear axle’s elastic response can hinder precise corner entry. On wet surfaces, braking remains solid and longitudinal aquaplaning is just adequate, while lateral aquaplaning and overall wet handling only reach satisfactory levels. Environmentally, the tire performs well in predicted mileage and low wear, aided by commendable fuel efficiency despite a slightly elevated weight.

The Falken Azenis FK520 showed strong performance, particularly excelling in hydroplaning resistance and dry handling, where it ranked highly. It demonstrated very good control in dry conditions, although it lacked a bit of dynamism. Despite its solid performance in hydroplaning tests, the tire faced challenges in wet braking and traction, showing room for improvement in wet grip and driving stability.

Positive: Good braking on wet roads, hydroplaning resistance. Safe cornering behavior, improved driving comfort.
Negative: Dry braking, increased rolling resistance.

Positive: Dry braking.
Negative: Wet braking

Positive: Dry handling. Braking performance in any conditions. Noise.
Negative: Wet lateral grip.
This Falken tire provides good handling response on dry surfaces and effective braking in any conditions, and it is also pretty quiet. However, it has problems with wet cornering stability.

Positive: Tires with stable cornering behavior and sporty, well-balanced handling especially on dry roads, hydroplaning resistance, low noise level, high driving comfort, good value for money.
Negative: Slow steering response and braking on wet roads.

The price-performance tip: Falken Azenis FK520. The affordable tire stays within striking distance of the top products in the dry and easily masters the wet.

This Falken tire can ensure optimum handling performance on dry pavement, and it has a smooth ride combined with high hydroplaning resistance. At the same time, there are issues with its wet handling response and lateral hydroplaning resistance.

This Falken tire combines acceptable dry handling response and good ride comfort. In addition, it has a high resistance to lateral hydroplaning but it lacks steering feedback, it has a long wet braking distance.
