Set for its global introduction in March 2023, the e. ZIEX tyre from Falken Tyre Europe is designed with a specific focus on electric vehicles (EVs) and models that benefit from ultra-low rolling resistance to increase their driving range. First showcased at The Tire Cologne trade show in May 2022, the e. ZIEX emerges as a significant achievement in Falken’s pursuit of energy-efficient tyre technology, developed under the Sumitomo Rubber Group umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tyre leverages Falken’s Advanced 4D Nano Design technology to craft an asymmetric tread pattern that optimizes pressure distribution across the tyre. This strategic design enhances the tyre’s grip on wet and dry surfaces alike and promotes uniform wear, contributing to an extended tyre lifespan. Additionally, the tyre’s shoulder contour has been fine-tuned to lower rolling resistance, a crucial factor for maximizing the range of EVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An important aspect of the e. ZIEX is its contribution to the quiet driving experience associated with electric vehicles. Through innovative design features like seamless continuous sipe edge contact and an advanced offset tread groove arrangement, the tyre significantly lowers noise levels. Falken’s proprietary SILENT CORE technology further reduces cavity resonance with a polyurethane foam layer inside the tyre, ensuring a quieter ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The development of the e. ZIEX aligns with Falken’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The tyre’s composition and performance have earned it an “A” rating in the EU tyre label categories for fuel consumption, wet grip, and noise emissions, at 69 dB. This classification underscores the tyre’s role in promoting eco-friendly driving solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon its launch, the e. ZIEX will be available in 11 sizes, ranging from 17 to 21 inches, to accommodate a broad spectrum of vehicles, with an expansion of additional sizes planned for 2024. This launch signifies Falken’s strategic direction towards catering to the rapidly growing EV market and the demand for tyres that enhance vehicle efficiency and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The e. ZIEX has already demonstrated its capabilities in independent testing, notably in a spring 2023 comparison by “auto motor sport” where it was distinguished as the lightest tyre tested. It received a “very good” rating, standing out for its exceptional rolling resistance, range enhancement, and noise reduction capabilities. These results affirm the e. ZIEX’s position as a top choice for drivers looking to optimize their EVs’ performance and sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-3455","releasearticles","type-releasearticles","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.testneumaticos.es\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releasearticles\/3455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.testneumaticos.es\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releasearticles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.testneumaticos.es\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/releasearticles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.testneumaticos.es\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
