Azenis FK510

About the Falken Azenis FK510

Summer Ultra High Performance Passenger Car/SUV tire.

Features

* Asymmetric tread design* Tension control technology* Adaptive Constant Pressure (ACP) pattern design* Switchback siping* Wide shoulder blocks* 4D nano design tread compound* Hybrid undertread cap ply* Variable sipe depth across the surface of the tread* Four circumferential grooves* Road Hazard Protection Warranty

Benefits

* A proprietary casing mold shape that provides a more flexible middle sidewall area to absorb shock while providing enhanced handling capability via the rigid outside shoulder tread and bead area of the sidewall* Provides enhanced tire tread to road surface pressure distribution, improving both directional stability and vehicle-stopping distances* Helps optimize contact surface while cornering in wet conditions, penetrating the water surface and enhancing cornering performance* Enhance high-speed cornering and lateral grip* Provides excellent traction and durability through advanced biomass materials, which helps improve tread flexibility and adhesion while simultaneously reducing polymer heat generation* Provides added rigidity and high-speed stability through the use of both Aramid and Nylon materials* Allows for controlled flexibility while maintaining overall block rigidity* Efficiently disperse water and enhance hydroplane resistance

Understanding the 225/35ZR20 XL size

In the size code 225/35R20, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 35 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 35% of the width, or roughly 78.8 mm. R20 means radial construction on a 20-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.2".

The load index 90 means each tire supports up to 1,323 lbs — about 5,292 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Y certifies the tire to 186 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Falken Azenis FK510 is built for

The Falken Azenis FK510 is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, SUV/CUV, Performance, UHP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 300 AA A. The treadwear grade of 300 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade AA measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $141.00 per tire, a full set of four costs $564.00. That is about 21% below the average price of the 18 tires we stock in this size.
