Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The Azenis FK460 A/S is Falken's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire for drivers of sport coupes, muscle cars, performance sedans and CUVs, and sport EVs (Electric Vehicles) seeking reliable dry grip, confident wet handling, and capable light snow traction as well as comfort, and reasonable tread life.

Falken Azenis FK460 A/S callouts

The Azenis FK460 A/S utilizes an Advanced Nano 4D compound molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring large, high-grip chamfered tread blocks, engineered to deliver competent dry grip and heightened cornering capability at higher speeds. A wide footprint maximizes contact with the road surface for optimal traction, while strong shoulder blocks amplify high-performance handling in dry conditions. Full-depth emerging grooves enhance wet traction when new and expand as the tire wears for improved wet weather performance throughout the tire's life. Four circumferential grooves provide ample pathways to generous lateral shoulder voids for efficient water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance. Transverse notches provide biting edges for enhanced all-season traction and combine functionally with interlocking sipes on the inboard section for reliable traction in slush and light snow.

Internal construction of the Azenis FK460 A/S consists of two high-tensile steel belts atop a reinforced two-ply polyester casing. A polyamide cap ply further stabilizes the tread for high-speed handling and durability.

Limited sizes of the Azenis FK460 A/S are available with Falken's Silent Core technology, which involves the manufacturer adhering a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire to reduce cabin noise in the vehicle. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.

...With a vehicle that weighs 4,800+ lbs, I have yet to brake traction on corners and lets the ST handle as well if not better than the '89 Supra Turbo I had...

I'm driving a modified Ford Explorer ST and it's putting down 540 AWHP, 620 if I put ethanol in the tank. These tires leave nothing to be desired in my opinion. With a vehicle that weighs 4,800+ lbs, I have yet to brake traction on corners and lets the ST handle as well if not better than the '89 Supra Turbo I had. Even with spirited driving, these tires easily lasted me 55,000 miles. (rated at 50,0000) They are very comfortable driving and are quiet on asphalt but create a little whir on cement highways.

I've owned quite a few brands of tires but not all. The Azenis impressed me enough where I returned for a second set. 'Nuff said! In the 2+ years I drove the first set, I'd only encountered a few snowfalls. With the average driver on 2 wheel drive vehicles, I wouldn't give a good snow rating but if you have 4 wheel drive and are snow experienced, you'll do fine with these. There's no tire that will perform as well as these and still be fully confident in snow. If you're in a climate that has marginal snowfall, these tires will be great for you if you're looking for a premium high performance tire.

Hope this helps.

...Outside of normal driving, they are fantastic for Autocross. Especially if you are just there to set times for yourself and to get better with every lap you take. Every lap I went down, either from a 50th of a second to a whole second on stock suspension, wheels, and with these tires...

I purchased the car with the tires; I did my research on them, figured they wouldn't be an issue, and I was right. The tires handled Lower Alabama roads very well, in almost any condition I put them through. Except for Snow, when it did snow here, I didn't drive my RS3 for many reasons. Outside of normal driving, they are fantastic for Autocross. Especially if you are just there to set times for yourself and to get better with every lap you take. Every lap I went down, either from a 50th of a second to a whole second on stock suspension, wheels, and with these tires. Just make sure you keep the tires cool. Once the tires became hot, I ended up drifting an AWD car on the track. All in all, great Tire and I look forward to purchasing another set once my current set is needed replacement

Great tires, I got these for my Infiniti G37 coupe, and have been really happy with them. They’re a lot quieter than previous tires that I’ve had, but still have a great handling feel and performance. They’re also more comfortable than previous tires I’ve used, and there was a noticeable improvement in ride quality when going over bumps and potholes. I would definitely recommend these tires for a daily driver or car that does some light spirited driving. They’re quiet enough to daily, and also perform well enough to have some fun.
