Falken FK-090 T125/70D17 98M 59000370

Features and Benefits: Temporary spare tire; Enhanced controllability; All season traction; Falken FK-090 TiresThe Falken FK-090 is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This is a temporary spare tire. It is manufactured in a smaller size than original tires, which minimizes its performing ability. However, this model is... moreperfect for emergency situations, when it offers a limited performance when mounted on the vehicle. Due to its structure, the tire should not be driven faster than 50 mph and it must be kept at 60 psi pressure. The upside of this model, apart from the performance it offers, is its size. It greatly decreases the space it takes up in the trunk of the vehicle. The center rib of the footprint maintains the surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire promotes better steering responsiveness and driving stability. This promotes the tire's quick and precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This guarantees the driver's control over the vehicle, even when a temporary spare is mounted on it. The Falken FK-090 offers good all season traction. The ribbed tread design features optimally placed notches, which increase the number of biting edges which grip the road surface at all times. On the other hand, the compound keeps the tire pliable in versatile weather conditions. Circumferential grooves combat hydroplaning in wet conditions. This tire is not for severe or harsh winter weather performance, as it will not provide the needed traction. This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller diagonal tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire's non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire's ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.
