Falken Azenis FK-453 CC is a 2012 novelty from the renowned automotive tire manufacturer "Falken Tire Corporation", which is a subsidiary of the Japanese "Sumitomo Rubber Industries". In recent years, under this brand, which has become autonomous, the production of high-performance tires of the "Ultra High Performance" class has been focused.
This model is a tire for sports cars, sedans and SUVs of the latest generation, which provides maximum driving comfort and high operating characteristics.
This model has undergone testing on the famous "North Loop" of the Nurburgring, which is the longest and most complex racing track, and has shown excellent results on it.
The main feature of this tire is its excellent stability at high speeds, thanks to which it stands in line with other sports tires for SUVs. This is facilitated by a particularly durable carcass compared to other tires in this segment. The NUR-Spec design features two nylon-reinforced layers, thanks to which the tire behaves perfectly at the highest speeds. In addition, the shoulder areas of this tire have a rounded shape, which, as the developers claim, allows for a 21% improvement in steering response compared to the predecessor tire, which is, of course, very important when passing turns - this allows them to be passed with the least loss of speed.
But that's not all the advantages of this tire. A unique, specially developed composition of the rubber mixture that makes up the tire's tread provides excellent traction on any road surface. This is especially true for driving on a dry track - in this case, the traction characteristics increase by 14% compared to the predecessor tire.
The design of the Falken Azenis FK-453 CC tread pattern is non-directional, asymmetric. Large blocks in the shoulder areas provide not only confident behavior of the tire on turns, but also better braking characteristics. At the same time, the tire, thanks to the well-thought-out design and optimal arrangement of the tread blocks, has very low noise generation - acoustic comfort is increased by 15%. Finally, the tire behaves 7% better on a wet road. Fast and efficient removal of moisture from the contact patch with the track surface is facilitated by four circumferential longitudinal grooves. In addition, special cutting edges are located in the shoulder areas, which cut through the water film and provide faster water removal from the tread. All this, in combination, provides protection against aquaplaning. The outer side of the tire has been strengthened, which has reduced the braking distance on a wet road.
If we summarize the above, it is worth saying that this stylish tire with high operating characteristics will necessarily delight its owner. Being a novelty, it continues to rapidly gain the trust of fast driving enthusiasts.
