FALKEN “ZIEX ZE001 A/S” Selected as Factory Standard Tires for the Latest SUBARU LEVORG LAYBACK

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 LEVORG LAYBACK, unveiled in September 2023.


The latest LEVORG LAYBACK has been developed for the Japanese market by SUBARU to be unique and stand out from their broad lineup of SUVs.

Our FALKEN “ZIEX ZE001 A/S” all-season tires, which have also been used on SUBARU’s SUV CROSSTREK, provide all-around high performance, 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 adopted 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.
