Falken is adding almost 40 new treads over the coming months with more choice in sports, SUV and comfort treads.

Its Azenis FK510 ultra high-performance tyre will have 16 new dimensions so from this summer will be available in 89 sizes for rims from 17 to 21 inches. The SUV version of this tyre, the Azenis FK510 SUV, will get ten new sizes to fit rims of 17 to 22 inches, and taking the full range of this tread to 56 sizes.

Earlier this year German car magazine, Auto Bild, ranked the Azenis FK510 third out of 53 tyres tested in 225/45 R17s, calling it ‘exemplary’.

Catering for another sector of the market, Falken’s ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun will have another 19 sizes this summer, taking the full range to 28 dimensions with rim sizes of 14 to 18 inches. The ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun is suitable for family cars and for drivers who favour good ride comfort over all-out sports driving.

Markus Bogner, Chief Operating Officer and President of Falken Tyre Europe, said: “With the size expansions, we are reacting to the needs of our customers and supplementing our already fairly extensive range by dimensions with growing demand on the market.”
