Its construction, which Falken calls NUR-Spec, uses a casing designed to resist warping plus an extra nylon-reinforced cover ply to improve high-speed stability. The profile is rounder, with a stiffer shoulder area for a better footprint when the car is loaded up in a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree grooves for water, offset bars for quiet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree central grooves clear water from under the tyre, and staggered sipes in the first shoulder tread bar help the outer edge grip on wet bitumen. The compound was derived from Falken's race tyres and carries more silica to enlarge the contact area and improve grip. To keep the cabin calmer, the tread bars are phase-shifted, which Falken says lowers both rolling and pass-by noise, even in low-profile sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the FK453 sits in the Azenis range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FK453 is an earlier Azenis model, and Falken's current Australian line-up features the Azenis FK510 and the newer \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/falken-fk520l-tyres\"\u003eFalken FK520L\u003c\/a\u003e, which is also offered in 215\/45R17.

Price depends on size, and current pricing for each size is shown in the listing above. Prices include fitting and balancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the FK453 suited to cold, wet winter driving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Australian winters on sealed roads, yes. The water-clearing grooves, shoulder sipes and silica-rich compound were all designed with wet grip in mind. The trade-off is that it is a performance road tyre, not a snow tyre, so alpine trips still need chains where required. Its stiffer construction also suits drivers who value steering feel over a soft, cushioned ride.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"falken-fk453-215-45r17-91w","title":"Falken FK453 215\/45R17 91W","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Falken AZENIS FK453 is an ultra high-performance passenger tyre developed for strong wet and dry road control, high-speed stability and a quieter performance drive.
