Falken tyre ranges

There are four main ranges of Falken tyres: Azenis, Ziex, Sincera, and Wildpeak. Generally speaking, and despite being performance-focused, Falken tyres are regarded as being mid range tyres. 

Azenis 

The Azenis series is designed to achieve optimised performance in terms of wet grip and all-round handling. It is specifically designed for use on sports cars, performance coupes, and luxury saloons and incorporates advanced technologies and features straight from the racetrack. Models in this range include the FK510, RT660, RT615K+, and FK460 A/S.    

Ziex 

The Ziex range is designed to provide sporty and comfortable handling and can be fitted to a wide-range of cars. Some of the most popular models in this range include the ZE310 Ecorun, ZE950 A/S, ZE914B Ecorun, and the e.Ziex. The Falken Ziex Ecorun is a particularly well-liked range. 

e.Ziex   

The e.Ziex is a recent addition to the range and is designed specifically for electric vehicles. It provides ultra-low rolling resistance, enhanced load resistance, and a quiet and comfortable ride. It features a new rubber compound, optimised tyre profile, and incorporates 'Silent Core' noise absorption technology. 

ZE950 A/S    

The ZE950 A/S is a high-performance all-season tyre that is available in sizes from 15-20 inches and in speed ratings of H, V, or W. This tyre is designed to perform in all conditions and provides optimum levels of grip in the wet, dry, snow, and ice. It offers excellent braking and handling, responsive steering, and safe and swift cornering. This tyre is available at a very reasonable price, is fuel-efficient, and is suitable for many cars, including the Audi A3, BMW 3-series, Lexus ES, and Nissan 370Z, amongst others. 

ZE310 Ecorun    

 The ZE310 Ecorun is a summer tyre that is available in a wide range of sizes. It has a number of exciting features. The Ecorun has a variable profile with 3 or 4 circumferential grooves, depending on size, a special tread design, a new enhanced compound, and an optimised tread pattern. The circumferential grooves provide enhanced aquaplaning resistance. The special tread design ensures superior traction, stability, and braking performance. The compound extends the wear life/life expectancy of the tyre. 

Overall, the ZE310 Ecorun provides a safe and comfortable drive courtesy of its excellent steering response, high levels of lateral stability, excellent traction, and superb resistance to aquaplaning.     

ZE914B Ecorun 

The Ziex ZE914B Ecorun is a premium summer tyre that can be fitted to a range of passenger cars, SUVs, and hybrids. This tyre delivers outstanding grip, low noise, increased fuel economy/mileage, and excellent stability at higher speeds. It features an asymmetrical five-rib profile, optimised pattern, large block structure on the shoulder, and a special tread design that encourages water evacuation.  

Toyota has selected this tyre as the Original Equipment (OE) for the latest version of the Corolla.
