Falken tyres for the Audi A1 citycarver

In every area at home – whether in the city, on country roads and motorways or on light terrain - is the new model of Audi’s A1 Series: the Audi A1 citycarver, commercially available since autumn 2019.

Since the market launch, the Falken ultra-high-performance tyre and test favourite Falken AZENIS FK510 has equipped the Audi A1 citycarver with tyres in the dimension 205/55R17 at factories. Since autumn 2018, the compact SUV Audi Q3 has been commercially available, it also being equipped with Falken summer tyres at factories.

The Falken Azenis FK510 has been on the market since 2016 and since then it has pleased not just the sporty driver – independent test organisations also repeatedly give the UHP tyre top marks. Most recently in the big AUTO BILD summer tyre test, where the AZENIS FK510 secured a place on the podium of the renowned test by finished third. The testers were particularly praising of aspects including the balanced driving properties on wet and dry ground as well as the sporty, dynamic dry handling.

The technologically sophisticated premier model from Falken is aimed particularly at sporty, modern drivers and is therefore an outstanding fit for the A1 citycarver from the Ingolstadt-based car manufacturer.

“We are very pleased to have won this contract,” comments Christian Stolting, Key Account Manager OE at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. “The decision to equip another premium model with our tyres at factories says a great deal for the quality and the high scope of our tyres.”
