The Falken AZENIS FK510's strengths lie in its advanced technology, which enhances both wet-weather traction and durability. Falken’s proprietary 4D NANO Design technology contributes to its superior wet grip, achieved through an innovative rubber compound and blade sipes that disperse water effectively. In tests, these tyres delivered a braking distance of 47.9 metres from 100 km/h on wet asphalt—just two metres shy of the top performer in the category.
The tyre's aquaplaning resistance also stands out, achieving a float speed of 98 km/h in rain-soaked conditions. This performance places it among the leading tyres in terms of safety and handling reliability in wet conditions, which is a priority for drivers of crossovers like the Audi A3 allstreet.
Falken’s AZENIS FK510 tyres offer a host of other benefits beyond grip and handling. The Adaptive Constant Pressure (ACP) technology ensures even pressure distribution across the tyre surface, aiding fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. This design also contributes to prolonged tyre life, a key benefit for drivers looking for durability without sacrificing performance.
The tyre is designed with a durable compound that resists abrasion, which not only enhances longevity but also contributes to better fuel economy. As Falken’s OE Sales Director Christian Stolting states, “The AZENIS FK510 boasts outstanding driving dynamics, high safety standards and durability, all made possible by innovative technology. We are convinced that this product will fully meet the high standards of the drivers of the Audi A3 allstreet.”
The Falken AZENIS FK510 series offers versatility, with 29 available sizes from 17 to 22 inches and series profiles from 25 to 55, making it suitable for a range of performance vehicles. It’s also rated for speeds up to 300 km/h, appealing to those seeking tyres that can deliver both speed and safety.
With the Audi A3 allstreet now sporting these premium tyres, drivers can expect enhanced control, reliable wet-weather performance, and efficiency tailored to the vehicle’s crossover character.
