Falken Tyre has combined its latest technologies to develop a new tire – the AS220 –suitable for gasoline, diesel, battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles. The tire features Vario Core technology, which unites Falken’s newest innovations in a single concept. They include developments in lightweight construction, tread design, materials technology and aerodynamics.
At the heart of the AS220 is a chaotic array tread pattern engineered to inspire confidence in changing conditions. Hydro grooves evacuate water effectively, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and offering greater stability and shorter stopping distances in wet weather. In snowy conditions, snow compaction grooves trap snow between the tread blocks to create extra biting edges, helping the tire generate grip where it is needed most.
