New Ultra High Performance tyre from Falken set for release...

The demand for ultra high-performance (UHP) tyres is continuously growing and the high end market is booming, Falken have recently released a new competitor, the Azenis FK510. This high quality tyre has already gained a 'Highly Recommended' label from testers at the German auto magazine Auto Zeitung along with the 'Highly Recommended' status from the German association of technical inspectors.

There are many improved features in this new design, engineers have developed the tread pattern of the Azenis FK510 to ensure even pressure distribution throughout the footprint of the tyre, this leads to improvements in braking, directional stability and driving dynamics. As well as the improved handling, the tyre also shows better protection against aquaplaning, this is due to the higher volume of grooves and contours in the shoulders, combined with numerous blade sipes, these are small 'cuts' in the pattern blocks, this allows more water to pass through at a more faster rate.

Andreas Giese, Product Planning Manager Falken Tyre Europe GmbH has said "The Azenis FK510 offers everything that fans of advanced driving dynamics could wish for, with superb directional stability on straights and cornering, exceptional stability in high-speed corners, shorter braking distances and high resistance to aquaplaning."

This tyre is expecting to be released in Spring 2016, to view our current range of Falken tyres along with many other mid-range brands, visit our homepage by clicking here and simply entering your postcode and tyre information, if you would like any advice with purchasing your new tyres please call our friendly team on 0845 783 9310, we're more than happy to help!
