Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. is pleased to announce that we have begun supplying our high-performance FALKEN “ZIEX ZE001 A/S” all-season tires to SUBARU for use as factory standard tires on their latest CROSSTREK, which launched December 2022.


The latest SUBARU CROSSTREK adeptly handles a wide range of driving activities from daily life in the city to new adventures in the great outdoors, making it a perfect fit for those who enjoy the exciting challenge of outdoor activities on weekends, those who crave the freedom to drive anywhere at any time and those who simply want to enjoy driving more than ever before.

Meanwhile, our FALKEN “ZIEX ZE001 A/S” all-season tires provide all-around high performance to fulfill the needs of the latest SUBARU CROSSTREK, combining outstanding steering stability with excellent fuel efficiency on both dry roads and snow. Consumer interest in all-season tires has been steadily growing in recent years, as these tires can be used year-round and can handle any type of weather, which means that you will never have to worry about sudden snow. Taking full advantage of our cutting-edge simulation technology, we have developed an innovative new tread pattern that optimizes the distribution of ribs as well as the form factor of lateral grooves to achieve unmatched roadability on snow. At the same time, thanks to the adoption of an advanced new rubber compound, our FALKEN “ZIEX ZE001 A/S” all-season tires also achieve a significant reduction in rolling resistance while maintaining the same high level of grip performance that you have come to expect from FALKEN.
