Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (SRI) is pleased to announce that we have begun delivering our FALKEN brand "ZIEX ZE914A" and "ZIEX ZE914A ECORUN" high-performance tires to Volkswagen for use on their new model "Passat," which they first unveiled in Europe last October.

In order to provide the high-level steering stability and noise reduction performance required of Volkswagen's new model "Passat," our FALKEN "ZIEX ZE914A" tires feature a fine-tuned internal structure and incorporate all-new, specially developed compounds. In addition, our FALKEN "ZIEX ZE914A ECORUN" tires, which come installed on the eco-friendly "Passat" model, strike an excellent balance between steering stability and noise reduction performance while at the same time reducing tire rolling resistance to achieve improved fuel efficiency.
