With its new Azenis PT722 A/S, Falken Tire claims it intends to set the stage for a new category in ultra-high-performance (UHP) rubber. Since the company believes emphasis on tread life has been overlooked in the UHP category, the PT722 touring tire is targeted at drivers looking for a smooth and quiet ride without sacrificing either performance or tread life. To back it up the claims, Falken backs the tire with one of the best warranties available in UHP tires—60,000 miles in sizes featuring a 600-A-A UTQG rating and 40,000 miles for sizes with a 440-A-A UTQG rating. The Azenis PT722 A/S is available in 44 sizes encompassing series 30 to 60, and wheel fitment diameters from 16 to 20 inches, as either an original equipment replacement or a plus-sized aftermarket alternative.
