Falken Tyres Australia will enter 2018 with its strongest product range to date with four key new products and more sizes across the range.
Leading the revised portfolio is the Azenis FK510, Falken's flagship performance tyre designed for performance and premium vehicles.
The Azenis RT615K+ has evolved from the original competition-winning RT615K and encompasses an all-new compound for even better performance on the street or race track.
Falken's foray into the runflat segment comes in the form of the Ziex ZE914 Ecorun Runflat and gives more choice to consumers looking for alternatives.
The Linam VAN01 is Falken's answer to the market's need for a high-tech van tyre, offering significantly improved service life and better performance.
"We've never been stronger," explained William Ng, Marketing Manager Falken Tyres Australia. "Our new tyres have been produced with technology and performance in mind. The 2018 range perfectly complements our existing line up and we're sure our customers will be more than satisfied, whether they have a passenger car, 4x4, SUV or commercial vehicle."

LINAM VAN01
The Linam VAN01 is a purpose-built tyre tailored for light trucks and vans. The VAN01 offers excellent mileage, superb durability and great safety and outstanding performance on wet roads in all applications.
The Adaptive Constant Pressure pattern design maintains consistent contact pressure with the road for excellent directional stability, performance, braking and better wear. The symmetric non-directional four-rib tread provides optimal handling stability and comfort while allowing cross-rotation patterns to fight irregular wear. A variable-pitch shoulder design allows for exceptional performance and reduced tyre noise. The three large circumferential straight grooves effectively evacuate water for enhanced wet performance.
The VAN01 also utilises Falken's pioneering 4D Nano Design technology. This design process has provided the VAN01 with an improved rubber compound designed to deliver maximum grip and improved rolling resistance.
