Falken’s first tyre to feature an integrated tyre sealant technology that immediately seals punctures and minimises the risk of a flat tyre is to go on sale next month. Initially available on two sizes of Falken’s all-season EUROALL SEASON AS210 pattern, CORESEAL prevents air pressure loss due to punctures by automatically sealing any punctures up to five millimetres in the tread surface, offering convenience, cost and safety to drivers.
Falken’s proprietary CORESEAL technology features a layer of highly adhesive, yet viscous sealant on the inner lining of the tyre. If the tyre is punctured, the sealant automatically flows into the hole and thus prevents further loss of air pressure. CORESEAL avoids the hassle and safety issues of experiencing a puncture.
“CORESEAL is a simple solution to a disruptive problem,” says Andreas Giese, senior manager corporate planning/product planning at Falken Tyre Europe. “Now you no longer have to change a tyre or wait for roadside assistance, you can simply continue your journey. CORESEAL is a significant step in making tyres smarter and more efficient.”
On sale in Germany from July 2021, Falken will initially offer 235/55R18 104V XL followed by the 225/50R17 98V XL all-season EUROALL SEASON AS210.
Falken recommends the use of a tyre pressure monitoring system with its CORESEAL tyres and suggests any puncture should be checked by a tyre professional.
The Sumitomo Rubber Group is actively engaged in the development and promotion of “spareless” technologies that eliminate the need for spare tyres. In addition to CORESEAL, we have already released various FEXM (Falken Extended Mobility Technology) tyres featuring our proprietary and are now also advancing the development of GYROBLADE “airless tyre” technology, which will eliminate the need for compressed air entirely. Because these technologies eliminate the need for spare tyres, they not only contribute to resource savings, but also reduce vehicle loads for improved fuel efficiency.

As is the case every year, readers await the results of the AUTO BILD tyre test with great anticipation. The AUTO BILD magazine has once again this year taken a close look at various tyres in differing dimensions and models, revealing which tyre actually delivers on its promises. The latest summer tyre test looked at more than 50 summer tyres in the dimension 225/40 R18, including the Falken ZIEX ZE320.
Falken Tyre Europe GmbH's summer promotion is taking place in 17 countries this year. Customers who purchase a set of Falken summer or all-season tires (four from 16 inches, excluding truck tires) between March 15 and May 31, 2025, will receive a fuel voucher. Participants also have the chance to win other attractive prizes, including a short holiday at a Center Parcs location of their choice for up to six people.
Falken Motorsports is starting the 2025 season with fresh vigour and drawing on a strong combination of experience and new talent. With three new additions to the driver line-up and the tried-and-tested turquoise-blue Porsche 911 GT3 R (992), the team is once again taking on the challenge of the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife with a brace of the race-winning car. After a total of five overall victories and several podium finishes, Falken Motorsports snatched the prestigious NLS Speed Trophy last year. The goal for 2025 is clear: to fight for top positions again especially at the 24-hour race.
