At its recent dealer meeting in Kansas City, Mo., Falken Tire Corp. announced plans to add four new consumer tires to its lineup in February 2016: the WildPeak A/T3W, WildPeak M/T, Sincera SN250 A/S and Azenis FK450 A/S.
The WildPeak A/T3W will be available in 54 sizes ranging from 15- to 20-in. wheel diameters and will carry a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty. The tire features an outer apex construction designed to protect the casing at the bead area; large center blocks for stability and on-road feel; and Falken’s 3D Canyon Sipe technology for traction in wet, icy and snowy conditions.
Falken’s first ever mud terrain tire, the Wild Peak M/T, will be available in 25 sizes ranging from 15- to 20-in. wheel diameters. The tire features Falken’s 3-ply DuraSpec Sidewall Technology, developed to endure severe off-road conditions; an aggressive upper sidewall for additional traction at low air pressures; and a split block tread design for added flexibility.
The performance touring Sincera SN250 A/S, which replaces the tiremaker’s SN211 A/S, will come in 54 sizes ranging from 14- to 18-in. wheel diameters. The tire carries an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty in T-rated sizes and a 75,000-mile warranty in H- and V-rated sizes. The tire uses Falken’s Dynamic Range Technology to ensure maximum grip at a wider range of operating temperatures, while strategically placed tread blocks help to balance harmonics for a quiet ride and 3D Canyon sipes add more gripping edges for snow traction.
The Azenis FK450 A/S UHP tire, will be offered in 48 sizes ranging from 16- to 20-in. wheel diameters and carries a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty. The tire’s features include Falken’s Tension Control Technology, which the company said serves to balance handling, high-speed stability and all-weather traction; slightly rounded sculpted-rib edges for prevention of rain groove wandering and enhanced straight line stability; high-dispersion silica for enhanced rubber pliability; and 3D Canyon Sipe technology.
