Falken
A tyre striving for – and achieving – a high performance
Not only do Falken tyres aim to provide drivers with a high-performance offering, but they alsosurpass that aim. You can purchase tyres from a wide range of options, catering for everything from cars to 4x4s and even vans and trucks.
This might seem odd when you consider that Falken tyres have been chosen for professional motorsports vehicles. Indeed, they’ve taken part in the Nurburgring 24-hour race for well over 20 years now. They take the knowledge and innovation seen in those tyres and apply it to the full range of tyres offered for standard vehicles too.
The history of Falken
Falken tyres were first produced in Japan in 1983. The brand is owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries. The tyre brand quickly began to make inroads in other parts of the world. For instance, they launched in North America just two years after the company first produced them. Three years after that, they launched in Europe, too.
Search back through the history of Falken and you’ll find many instances of awards won, innovations produced, and other landmark achievements as well. They won the 2023 Tire Technology International Award for Innovation and Excellence for developing an alternative to rubber by using enzymes from tomatoes. This could in future be used to create tyres without relying on natural rubber.
2024 saw parent company Sumitomo develop a sensor to alert the driver to the presence of any loose wheel nuts, which could prevent accidents caused by wheels coming off.
