The Azenis FK510 is part of Falken’s renowned FK family of tires. The FK510 uses new high-performance compounds that have been optimized at a molecular level thanks to 4D Nano Design. The result is enhanced wear and better wet weather traction. Contributing to improved handling and stability are hybrid undertread materials that use both aramid and nylon materials.

Tread life is decent, but can vary significantly based on your vehicle and driving habits. As a result, the Falken Azenis FK510 does not have a treadwear warranty.
