Falken Tires

Falken Tires was established in 1983 as a flagship high-performance brand. Originally launched in Japan, the brand was created to showcase the ultra-high-performance capabilities of its parent company's tire technology. Over the decades, it has become a global leader in the replacement tire market, known for its involvement in motorsports and its emphasis on "on-pulse" performance.

While the brand has its roots in Japan, Falken's manufacturing footprint is truly global. The products are manufactured in various facilities worldwide, including major plants in Japan, the United States, Thailand, and Brazil. This distributed production allows the brand to serve different regional markets with specific compounds and tread designs tailored to local road conditions and climates.

The brand is owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, a major global conglomerate in the rubber and tire industry. Under Sumitomo’s leadership, Falken has expanded its research and development capabilities, leveraging advanced materials science to produce energy-efficient and high-grip tires for passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs.
