New Falken Sincera SN110 car tyre targets mass market

摘要

Falken will launch its new Sincera SN110 car tyre in the UK from mid-March 2020 in 49 sizes for 14-16" wheels. The manufacturer said that it aims to "bring the wear and wet grip benefits normally found in top-of-the-range tyres to cost-conscious customers driving mass market cars." The tyre has achieved A rated wet grip performance on the EU tyre label. Falken says this shows the tyre has not compromised on safety to achieve the tyre's increased longevity. An intensive two-year development programme by Falken engineers has yielded improved wet braking and driving dynamics over its predecessor, the Sincera SN832 Ecorun. The manufacturer states that the tyre also exceeds the wear life performance of benchmarked premium brands. Engineers looked at every aspect of the tyre's shape, construction and materials to meet the targets achieved. The lamellar flow and turbulence that generate fuel-sapping air resistance have been reduced by adopting an aerodynamic sidewall. Hemispherical ribs across the tread pattern ensure even contact pressure to reduce friction and improve mileage. A closed shoulder groove offers less distortion of the shoulder blocks to reduce braking distances. Meanwhile, flexible core sipes in the centre of the tyre maintain longitudinal rib stiffness to improve stability and grip, even on poor road surfaces prevalent in the UK.
