Falken Tire Winning Races and Innovating New Tires

For many years, the technology and driving characteristics of Falken's High-Performance Tires been derived from various motorsport competition, most recently its win at Nor-Cal Rock Racing Series in Sacramento, California. This race was the perfect example of proving the capabilities of these new tires. Falken Tires , the tire technology developed on tracks is usually transferred to the roads, providing improvements in dry and wet grip, efficiency, comfort and control.

Falken Tire is a brand of Japan's Sumitomo Rubber Industries, with its US headquarters in California. Falken has aggressively bolstered its product range in recent years and launched new products in different niches across the globe. Falken’s latest products range from the Azenis series that include the new FK453 flagship and innovative ZE914, the beast all-terrain WildPeak A/T, HS449 for cold weather and SN832 Ecorun.

Falken Rolls Out Run-Flats

Falken Tires has rolled out a Run-Flat version of high-performance ZIEX ZE914 Ecorun tire. They are suitable for cars designed to run on Run-Flat tires. These tires have excellent wet weather characteristics and rolling resistance, which add the convenience and power of being capable to run your car up to 75-80km at a speed of 80km/h at zero pressure. To achieve quality and performance, Falken’s engineers have made a number of innovations. Most notable is the addition of dimples to the sidewalls. These features assist to distribute the heat more evenly, improving the tire life by 17 percent at zero pressure.

The days of flat tires are over with Falken’s new Run-Flats.

These innovations to the Run-Flat tire have enabled Falken's engineers to change the design for better mileage and performance. With its strong wet weather grip, Falken has strengthened both the lateral and longitudinal grooves to enhance resistance to aquaplaning. A stiffer outer shoulder offers improved cornering performance in dry condition.
