Lassa Tyres — "the flagship international brand of Brisa, Türkiye's sector leader and tyre industry export champion" — has recently convened its global network of international distributors in Cologne, Germany. The goal of this venture is to reinforce strategic partnerships and outline its growth vision. The move coincides with the biennial Tire Cologne exhibition.
During the gathering, Lassa Tyres showcased a substantially renewed winter and multi-season product portfolio, introducing four new winter tyres and one all-season tyre that collectively cover approximately 85% of European winter market demand, with a particular emphasis on expanding coverage for larger rim sizes of 18 inches and above. These new products have been developed utilizing EV-ready and NextGen technologies. This reflects the brand's adaptation to global automotive trends, including the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles and the growing consumer preference for higher-performance, larger-diameter tyres.
