Four New Falken Tires Slated for Early 2016

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.
