Porsche chooses Falken Azenis for its Macan SUV
By John SwiftIndustry News18th May 2019
Porsche has approved Falken tyres for its latest generation of its Macan SUV and the Azenis FK510 will be fitted in both 235/60R18 and 255/55R18 sizes and they have a speed rating of ‘W’ meaning they are certified for up to 167 mph/ 270 km/h.
Falken’s top-of-the-range AZENIS FK510 has been available as an SUV-specific tyre since 2017 and is well suited to the sporty driving enjoyed by Macan owners. Its ACP (Adaptive Constant Pressure) tread technology improves braking performance, directional stability and driving dynamics. It also has a longer life than other tyres because by using 4D NANO technology, Falken engineers designed a compound for the FK510 series tyres which improves wear resistance as well as giving a naturally high level of grip.
Christian Stolting, of Falken Tyre Europe, said: “With the introduction of these tyres, we have continued to apply our strategy of consistently offering an extensive range in growing and profitable segments. Awarding us the factory fitting for the Porsche Macan doesn’t just confirm this strategy, but also speaks volumes for the quality of our tyres. Supplying Porsche with our tyres is a bit of an accolade for us!”
