Falken provides glimpse of the future

Falken’s has provided a glimpse of the future with the 100 per cent fossil-free tyre Enasave 100.

Instead of using fossil resources for rubber antioxidants or vulcanisation accelerators, Falken’s Enasave is made by a special process using plant oil instead of mineral oil, natural rubber and silica.

Today’s conventional tyres use around 60 per cent synthetic material and this project, led by Falken’s parent company SRI, ongoing for over 13 years, raises the content from an initial 70 per cent when the project started to today’s 100.

As well as using eco-friendly raw materials Enasave 100 tyres claims to also provide advanced performance in terms of fuel-efficiency, wet grip and tyre wear.
