Falken Azenis FK453CC. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Improved handling; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Falken Azenis FK453CC is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for SUVs and passenger vehicles.The special asymmetric tread design and the silica tire compound improve the summer weather road gripping ability. The dry and wet weather traction ensures a safer driving experience in the hot summer months, but the model will not perform well in winter weather. The compound does not maintain its excellent road gripping ability in colder winter temperatures. The three wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning situations by eliminating water from below the tire's footprint. This ensures excellent driving safety all year.The tire is easily controlled. The internal structure's multiple nylon reinforcement layers and optimized casing profile boost the driving stability and the steering responsiveness. The nylon layers enhance and stabilize the tire against the driving pressure affecting it, even during high speed driving. The better stability maintains the tire's optimal shape, which enables it to perform to its highest capability. The casing shape maintains constant road contact which improves the steering responsiveness and accuracy. The better road contact ensures a quick and precise response to the driver's commands, which makes the tire effortless to control.The cornering and braking abilities are boosted thanks to the tread design. The large outer shoulder tread block sequence maintains constant road contact. It provides additional biting edges for an enhanced cornering and maneuvering power and capability. The better road grip also shortens the braking distance by creating friction at the moment of braking. The increased cornering and braking capabilities ensure a safer driving experience in all summer conditions.The Azenis FK453CC offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The asymmetric tread pattern lowers the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. This is achieved by channeling the airwaves through the tire's footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements. The result is an enjoyable, road noise free drive. 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.
