Falken said it offers the tyre exclusively to OEMS and claims its lower rolling resistance, good handling and braking properties "offer an ideal combination for today's driver".
"With developments to its rubber compound and an optimised profile, engineers have created a tyre that blends safety and fuel economy, whilst retaining the driving characteristics that led to the tyre being recommended by leading media tyre tests in Germany, including Auto-Motor-Sport magazine and ACE-Lenkrad," the supplier added.
