March 8, 2012

The nationwide roll-out of Ohtsu passenger tires has begun. Falken Tire Corp. has launched the Ohtsu line with the FP7000, an all-season performance tire.

Available in 43 sizes ranging from 185/60R14 82H through 255/45R18 99W, the FP7000 "presents outstanding all-weather responsiveness at an exceptional value," according to the company. It is available at select retailers nationwide.

It features a non-directional tread pattern that allows for ease of rotation for improved tire life. In addition to year-round traction, the tire also is designed to deliver a smooth ride.

“The Ohtsu FP7000 is the perfect original equipment replacement tire for a variety of applications,” says Andrew Hoit, Falken's vice president of marketing. “The Ohtsu brand is noted for offering high quality products at excellent price points, and with the FP7000, Ohtsu delivers a tire with superb capabilities at the value end of the market.

"We are confident the Ohtsu passenger car tires will be extremely competitive, and the FP7000 is the kind of tire consumers are looking for based on its capabilities and affordability.”

Falken recently took over the responsibility of marketing the Ohtsu brand in North America. For more information about Ohtsu consumer and commercial products, visit www.ohtsutires.com.
