The Falken WildPeak A/T Trail tire has earned the original equipment position on the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition model.
The vehicle, new for 2023, will ride on WildPeak A/T Trail tires in size 225/60R18.
The tire is designed to match the crossover vehicle's off-road capabilities and on-road performance. The tire features two-ply polyester construction and a rugged upper sidewall, along with an optimized tread design that makes it versatile.
“As Mazda seeks to build a stronger relationship with customers who want an aggressive and authentic crossover that can take them down trails to campsites and riverbeds, the logical tire to partner with is Falken’s Wildpeak A/T Trail,” says Cliff Stewart, director of OE sales for the Falken brand at Sumitomo Rubber North America Inc.
“We’re very pleased to continue our strong relationship with Mazda, where we also supply OE tires to the CX-9 and MX-30 EV,” Stewart says, “and appreciate the key points noted upon our selection – the Wildpeak A/T Trail’s sidewall design and meeting all of Mazda’s demanding engineering standards. This is an exciting time for Mazda as it launches a new model in North America and we’re delighted to be along for the ride.”
