FOR this one, Falken would not need a sunny day to shine; a rainy day is just great.

Falken's new line of FK452 performance tyres, which was launched recently, boasts of exceptional wet handling characteristics, as well as more progressive and linear response to dynamic driving conditions.

With sizes that vary from normal 16-inch, 55-series profiles, all the way to massive 22-inch, 25-series sizes, the FK452s are targeted at the upper middle, luxury, performance sport segment of the tyre-buying market.

A new silica-based compound enhances wet weather grip without sacrificing wear resistance, while its dual tread compound provides excellent handling.

The FK452 is a result of extensive development on water drainage, Optimally positioned twin aqua-wide grooves, with water capturing pockets, effectively drain water through further cambered tread block edges, resulting in superior anti-aquaplaning capabilities.

The Falken FK452, available in 74 sizes is distributed by Stamford Tyres (M) Sdn. Bhd. For more info, log on to www.stamfordtyres.com, or call 03-55672608.
