The main difference is that, compared to its original counterpart, the Azenis FK460 A/S Silent Core utilizes Silent Core foam that lines the inside of the tire to reduce tire cavity noise, making an already quiet tire even quieter. Another difference is the Azenis FK460 A/S Silent Core also comes in EV-specific sizes, which range from 18- to 22-inch rim sizes.
The Silent Core foam that lines the interior of the tire eliminates tire cavity noise in the 200-250 Hz frequency range, improving driver and passenger comfort and reducing fatigue.
No. The lightweight Silent Core foam does not impair tire performance in any way. We have developed the FK460 A/S Silent Core tire to complement the high-performance features that modern electric vehicles offer, such as higher torque, faster acceleration, and more weight. This tire also maintains the same tread pattern as the original FK460, so you can expect the same all-season, ultra-high performance.
The Silent Core foam does not affect the comfort of the ride because it is light in weight, making the ride comfort indistinguishable from the original FK460. You can experience the same ride comfort as the original FK460 while also benefiting from an even quieter ride with the Silent Core technology.
No, the Silent Core foam will not affect how the tire and wheel are balanced. The Silent Core foam itself does not result in a significant balance change to the tire due to its light weight, so tire installers can balance the Azenis FK460 A/S Silent Core tires like normal.
From the track to the trail, Falken is committed to taking drivers further.
