This tyre incorporates race-winning technologies and materials to offer an unparalleled driving experience on both road and track. It is initially available in 38 sizes, covering diameters from 19 to 21 inches and cross-sections from 30 to 45, with a Y speed index that allows for speeds of up to 300 km\/h. This wide range of sizes ensures that the tyre can fit a variety of high-performance cars and SUVs, including prestigious models like the Porsche 911, Audi R8, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW M5, Cupra Formentor, and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falken&#8217;s engineers, leveraging the expertise and technological capabilities of Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd, have crafted the AZENIS RS820 to deliver responsive handling, balanced wet and dry grip, and an impressive feel under various conditions. The tyre features an asymmetric tread pattern with four circumferential grooves, an improved shoulder design for increased road contact and lateral stability, and a hybrid-configured reinforcement using Aramid for enhanced safety and dynamic driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important aspect of the AZENIS RS820 is its focus on safety and durability. The tyre&#8217;s tread compound includes a variety of chemical compounds to ensure ruggedness and flexibility, which, in turn, delivers robust driving properties across different road surfaces and conditions. Additionally, the circumferential tread ribs improve lateral grip during cornering and ensure stable straight-line stability. Wide, deep grooves also play a crucial role in water drainage, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight reduction has also been a key focus in the development of the AZENIS RS820, with Falken&#8217;s engineers exploring every possibility to make this tyre lighter without compromising on performance. This approach not only benefits the driving dynamics but also contributes to the overall efficiency of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falken&#8217;s proprietary advanced 4D NANO design technology has been utilized to ensure lower wear rates and a longer lifespan for the AZENIS RS820. While the exact label values for performance in wet conditions, noise, and fuel consumption are yet to be fully defined, the tyre is provisionally classified as A, B, and C respectively. This indicates a high level of performance across these critical parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AZENIS RS820 represents a significant advancement in tyre technology, promising to deliver maximum driving pleasure, safety, and longevity. With the first 30 sizes set to go into production before the end of 2023 and the remaining eight sizes following in 2024, this tyre is poised to set a new standard in the UUHP tyre category. For drivers of high-performance vehicles seeking the ultimate in responsiveness, grip, and safety, the Falken AZENIS RS820 appears to be an exceptional choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3162,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-3161","releasearticles","type-releasearticles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneulab.eu\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releasearticles\/3161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneulab.eu\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releasearticles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneulab.eu\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/releasearticles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pneulab.eu\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pneulab.eu\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
