Falken Azenis RS820 delivered for original equipment on Audi S3

Tokyo, Japan – Falken Tyre Europe GmbH, Sumitomo Rubber Group’s European sales company announced that they have begun supplying FALKEN “AZENIS RS820” tires to Audi S3. The FALKEN “AZENIS RS820” was designed with accurate handling, stability and control under all driving conditions in mind. The “AZENIS RS820” features an asymmetric tread pattern with four circumferential tread grooves. An improved shoulder design offers increased contact with the road and enhanced lateral stability on dry roads.

The tire draws on the latest compound and construction technologies derived from Falken’s motorsport developments such as its hybrid aramid reinforcement material. An optimised belt ply provides an even pressure distribution, allowing for a dynamic driving experience with improved safety.

The circumferential tread ribs of the “AZENIS RS820” not only provide improved lateral grip while cornering, but also ensure stable straight-line stability. The grooves are wide and deep to displace water and prevent aquaplaning.

Tread design and construction are but one striking aspect of Falken’s latest and highest performing product, the other being the Advanced 4D NANO Design technology used to create compounds with lower wear rates and offer a longer lifespan. With weight also a key factor when it comes to high-performance vehicles, Falken’s engineers explored all weight-saving possibilities – both in construction and compound.

The overall result provides robust driving properties across a broad range of a road surfaces and conditions, both wet and dry.
