Sumitomo Rubber North America Inc.’s Falken brand has been selected to provide its Falken Ziex ZE001 A/S as one of the original equipment tires available on the 2016 Nissan Rogue.

“The Falken Ziex ZE001 A/S is our first fitment with Nissan and we couldn’t be more thrilled to debut with the Nissan Rogue,” said Rick Brennan, vice president of marketing for Falken. “Our high performance Ziex ZE001 provides a well-rounded performance capability that matches perfectly with the versatility of the Nissan Rogue. We look forward to future opportunities to fit more Nissan vehicles.”

The Falken Ziex ZE001 A/S was specifically designed to complement the Nissan Rogue and offers low-noise and a comfortable ride, Falken said. Additionally, the tire features stability and handling in dry, wet and light snow conditions, and the tread design aides in low noise and evacuating water from under the tread, the tiremaker adds. The tires available on the 2016 Nissan Rogue will be in size 225/60R18.
