OVERVIEW

The Falken Azenis FK450 A/S is a high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Falken offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the special 4D Nano design tire compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road grip. The tapered notched grooves maintain a clean footprint by preventing snow from packing into the tread grooves. The wide circumferential and longer sweeping grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The compound keeps its flexibility, while the tread design firmly grips the road surface. The better traction and excellent hydroplaning resistance ensure a safer year round performance.

The maintained road contact of the asymmetric tread design enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tread features vertical tread notches that minimize the loss of traction during maneuvering, further improving the tire's responsiveness to the driver's instructions. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise, while the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The wide shoulder tread blocks manage to increase the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface, ensuring a secure cornering ability.

The tread pattern lengthens the tread life and the tire's usability. The supporting tread block bars manage to prevent tread flexing while the tires are in motion. The enhanced tread stability allows the tread design to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking ensures it actively resists irregular tread wear formations and improves the tire's longevity.

The Azenis FK450 A/S offers a comfortable driving experience. The specialized Tension Control Technology improves the middle sidewall's flexibility, enabling the model to closely follow the road surface. This decreases the road vibration levels felt in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. The result is a comfortable and enjoyable drive.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
