Falken’s Silent Core technology adapts the Ultra High Performance All-Season Azenis FK460 A/S to the needs of today’s most popular Electric Vehicles (EVs). Silent Core dramatically reduces tire cavity noise thanks to a foam insert strategically placed along the backside of the tire tread. Falken engineers utilized tire noise simulation to ensure optimized development and placement for a quieter, more comfortable ride. The FK460 A/S blends the versatility you demand of an all-season tire with the excitement you expect from an Azenis, achieving the complex balance of high-performance capability, year-round traction, and long tread life. With a 50,000-mile limited tread life warranty and Falken’s Road Hazard Protection, the Azenis FK460 A/S Silent Core provides performance-minded peace and quiet season after season.

High grip chamfer delivers improved dry handling capability.
Falken utilized simulation technology to optimize the placement and sizing of the "Silent Core" foam insert for maximum effectiveness in reducing tire cavity noise.
Falken utilized Advanced 4D Nano Technology to develop a rubber compound that delivers high-performance grip and wet weather traction without sacrificing tread life.
Performance ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being best. Ratings are in comparison to other Falken Tires products in the same category.
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.
