Falken tyres OE on Subaru Crosstrek

The third-generation Subaru Crosstrek went on sale in Japan in December 2022, and Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI) shares that it is supplying its Falken Ziex ZE001 A/S as an original equipment tyre. The Crosstrek will wear the all-season Falken tyre in size 225/55R18 98V. As Subaru won’t bring the latest Crosstrek to the UK until late in 2023 or even next year, we’ll have to wait and see if Falken will also supply original equipment tyres for the local market.

SRI says the Falken Ziex ZE001 A/S provides “all-around high performance to fulfil the needs of the latest Subaru Crosstrek, combining outstanding steering stability with excellent fuel efficiency on both dry roads and snow.” The tyre maker notes that “consumer interest in all-season tyres has been steadily growing in recent years.”

Yokohama is also supplying its Geolandar G91 to Japanese market Crosstrek models. This tyre is fitted to the crossover in size 225/60R17 99H.
