The Falken LA/AT tire is a model for summer use on vehicles with increased passability. The quality level of the product meets the highest standards and is not inferior to more expensive brand models of this class, such as Dunlop or Goodyear. There's nothing surprising about this, since the manufacturer Falken - the Japanese company Ohtsu Tire - is part of the Sumitomo Rubber Industries industrial group, which owns the trademarks Goodyear and Dunlop.
The Falken LA/AT model has all the qualities and features of the Falken LA/CT summer tire. The Falken LA/AT tire tread differs from its counterpart in the design of the tread blocks. Carefully calculated geometric dimensions and block configuration provide stability of traction and dynamic characteristics, regardless of the terrain and weather conditions.
Each block of the tread has a narrow groove, which ensures its "mobility", reducing resistance to loads when driving on rough terrain. In cases of emergency stopping, the labile blocks provide an increase in the contact area with the road surface, which, in turn, significantly reduces the braking distance. All of the above is also true for driving in unfavorable climatic conditions.
Like the LA/CT model, the tread design features 5 radial sections with alternating block direction. This design provides relative stability of the vehicle's characteristics. One should not be too critical of relativity, as operation under various weather and climatic conditions inevitably introduces corrections to the specificity of the vehicle's behavior. In this regard, the responsibility for safety lies entirely with the vehicle owner and directly depends on their experience and ability to maintain control of the situation.
