Falken Sincera SN201 A/S. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient driving experience; Reduced road vibration levels; Road Hazard Warranty offered by Falken; 30 Day Ride Guarantee offered by Falken; . OVERVIEW: The Falken Sincera SN201 A/S is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Falken offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.Falken offers a road hazard warranty with this tire. Road hazard damage is harm caused to the tire during its performance. It can occur in the form of punctures, bruises, or impact breaks when the tire is driven in normal driving conditions on a federal, state, and/or locally maintained road. Falken's road hazard covers the first 3/32nds of the tire's tread life or 2 years from the date of purchase (whichever comes first). The road hazard warranty is honored if the damage is unrepairable per the USTMA puncture repair guidelines. Additional restrictions and fees may apply.Falken also offers a Thirty (30) Day Ride Guarantee or 1,000 miles to try this model out. In case you are not satisfied with your purchase, Falken provides this warranty for 30 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first. The returned tires must not show damage due to road hazards, incorrect operation or maintenance, or damage caused by external conditions. This offer is for tires operated in normal highway conditions within the U.S. or Canada and it excludes tires used in commercial service or racing applications. The tires must be returned to the original place of purchase, with the sales invoice and the proper documentation.The tire offers great all weather traction. The symmetric tread design's high siping density and the angled tread grooves increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The sipes firmly grip the road surface in all weather, while the angled grooves eliminate snow stuck between the tread elements to maintain road contact. The wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and the safer road grip boost the all weather driving safety.The silica-based tire compound lowers the tire's overall weight, which in turn decreases the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tires that determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to keep them in motion. The lower the rolling resistance is, the less the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This makes the tire both fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. The decreased rolling resistance also manages to slow the tread wear rate down. On the other hand, the symmetric tread manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking extend the tread life by actively resisting irregular tread wear formations. The slower even tread wear effectively increases the tread life and the tire's usability.The tire promotes excellent controllability. The tread design's solid center rib maintains the tire's constant road contact. The better road contact boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes quick and precise in its response to the driver's instructions, while the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The result is the enhanced control the driver has over the vehicle in all weather.The Sincera SN201 A/S ensures a comfortable drive. The special Tension Control Technology optimizes the tire's sidewall by ensuring good flexibility to the sidewall's middle area, while keeping the upper sidewall stiff. This enables the model to closely follow the road surface in all conditions, reducing the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin and guaranteeing an enjoyable driving experience. 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.
