From energy-efficient EV tyres to gripping off-road rubber, inspiring UUHP and no-nonsense commercial vehicle patterns, Falken will use this year’s Tire Cologne (4-6 June) to highlight that it now offers its broadest range ever, as well as catering for every season.
Industry visitors to its expansive 400m² stand (Hall 6.1/C010 to D019) will see cutting-edge tyres such as the all-new motorsport/track day targeted UUHP AZENIS RS820, approved for speeds of up to 300km/h. Making its debut at this year’s event is the new Falken ZIEX ZE320. The replacement for the ZIEX ZE310 drops the ‘ECORUN’ suffix but will be more environmentally friendly than its predecessor. Produced in Turkey, its new pattern and filler are more sustainable.
“2024 sees our broadest range of tyres ever on sale, ensuring dealers have choice from a brand they trust,” says Markus Bögner, managing director, president and CSO at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. “From trucks to light vans, track day enthusiasts as well as those looking for EV-specific tyres, more drivers and fleet operators can opt for our tyres that deliver impressive levels of technology and performance for the price.”
Reflecting the evolving demand for seasonal tyres, Falken will present its newest HS02 PRO winter pattern, the latest AS220 PRO all-season offer as well as extreme Winterpeak F-ICE1 and F-Snow products. Light commercial operators will find robust, long-lasting LINAM winter, summer and all-season options on display along with Falken’s fleet experts on hand to outline the commercial benefits of fitting Falken tyres.
As with previous appearances at the industry’s leading trade event in Europe, and in line with its expansion throughout the digital motorsport realm – with the official Falken Esports team contesting a trio of championships this season – Falken will offer visitors entertainment and a chance to test their driving skills on a sim rig.
At its stand in Hall 20 of the Autopromotec trade fair, which is taking place from 21st to 24th May in Bologna, Italy, Falken Tyre Europe GmbH will be presenting its wide-ranging assortment of products.
After two victories at the season opener, Falken Motorsports has impressively confirmed its reputation as a top team on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife: At the third round of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series - the 56th Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy - Morris Schuring, awarded “Driver of the Day”, and Sven Müller secured third place. Tim Heinemann and Dennis Marschall completed the strong team result with fourth place in the second Falken Porsche.
Falken Motorsports were also unstoppable in the second round of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series, the ADAC Ruhrpott Trophy: Dorian Boccolacci and Alessio Picariello repeated their triumph from the season opener five weeks ago and secured the Japanese tire manufacturer's second win of the season in the teal-and-blue Porsche 911 GT3 R with starting number 3. Their teammates Tim Heinemann and Dennis Marschall completed the strong team result with a respectable fifth place overall in the sister car with the number 4.
