Falken RI150A Ecorun Tires

The Falken RI150A is an all-position rib tire for regional haul, built for tractors, straight trucks and trailers on 22.5-inch wheels that run mostly on highway, with the stops and turns of regional routes. Falken engineered it to maximize mileage in that work. Falken is the commercial brand of Sumitomo Rubber.

The casing uses Falken's Smart Shape case technology, which limits casing growth over the tire's life. A casing that keeps its shape wears evenly and stays a good candidate for retreading. A 3D wavy groove spreads stress across the base of the tread to resist groove cracking. Micro sipes along the rib walls control irregular wear, and stone defense features keep rocks from packing into the grooves and drilling into the casing. Wide outer shoulder grooves add stability under load. It is built in load range H (16-ply rating) in 11R22.5 and 255/70R22.5.

For a fleet, the deciding number is cost per mile. Falken pairs a high-quality base compound designed for retreadability with a casing warranty program, so the RI150A is built to earn a second tread life. The Ecorun name marks Falken's low rolling resistance line.

Best-suited for: Regional tractors, straight trucks and box trucks, refuse and vocational trucks on mostly paved routes, and trailer axles in regional service.
