US TYRE maker Falken has launched new year-round tyre for all weather conditions. The new Euroall Season AS200 has improved traction on dry, wet and even snowy roads without compromising on comfort, as well as significantly reduced tyre rolling noise and shorter braking distances, according to the company.
The new tyre contains four wide and deep longitudinal grooves, which have been designed to ensure excellent dispersal of water. With a tread constructed from an all-new rubber compound, which contains extra silica, the tyre is said to offer vehicles exceptional wet handling.
Moreover, the AS200 has a built-in anti-aging mechanism in which an anti-aging agent permeates continuously from the lower reservoir tread to the outer tread to protect the running surface from ageing and aggressive environmental influences throughout the life of the tyre.
The tyres, with the sidewall featuring the M&S label required in Europe, as well as the snowflake symbol indicating good traction in winter conditions, will be sold through tyre retailers from July 2013 in a total range of 27 dimensions.
