About Falken Tyres

Falken is a performance-focused tyre brand owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries — the same parent company as Dunlop. Founded in 1983, Falken was born from motorsport and has maintained a strong racing DNA throughout its history. The brand is particularly well-known in drifting, endurance racing, and circuit racing communities worldwide.

Falken's motorsport involvement isn't just marketing — it directly informs their road tyre development. Technologies tested on the track are refined and applied to their consumer tyres, resulting in products that deliver genuine performance benefits for everyday drivers.

For New Zealand drivers, Falken offers an excellent combination of motorsport-derived performance and everyday practicality. Their Azenis range is popular among performance car enthusiasts, while the Wildpeak range serves the growing 4WD and SUV market with capable all-terrain and mud-terrain options.

Falken Tyres in New Zealand

Falken is a growing favourite among New Zealand drivers who want performance without the premium price tag. Their Wildpeak AT3W is one of the most popular all-terrain tyres in NZ, offering excellent on-road comfort with genuine off-road capability — perfect for Kiwi weekenders.
