Tires Falken or Kumho

I cant believe how good the Falken Sincera are and they’re cheap. Only bought Michelin for years. Never liked anything cheap or Continental, Yokohama.

Example, I switched to Kumoho from GSC's on 93 Trans AM. Yes I gave up traction but I gained smoother ride, better wet road handling, and about 12000 more miles a set. which basically doubled what I was getting out of GSC's. No question a better tire. Kumoho was still not big yet but what they did make was really good.

Our best selling light truck tire is by far the Wildpeak AT4W. It's a great all around tire that also looks good and wears very well. They are not the best tire in the snow but they still do pretty well. For an all weather passenger car tire the Falken Aklimate is also very hard to beat. I pulled off a set of 7/32nds tread depth Firestone ft140's off my little daily driver corolla and put a set of those on. The difference in snow traction is unbelievable. I drove home from work tonight on 5" plus of unplowed snow and was at times dragging the belly on my little car. It just chewed right along with no issues. With the firestones I still would have made it home, but a couple of stop signs that I had to stop at and take off going uphill would have required running the stop sign and hoping no-one was coming in order to do so. The Aklimates just bit in and dug through everything.

I've had repetitive Goodluck both in lifespan and performance with Falken tires, and had a good customer service and support experience at Town Fair tire.

200tw Falken RT615K+, incredibly cheap. Take lot of heat. Better than a 4s. Don\u2019t wear that bad

Upgraded to pilot sport AS at 30k miles because the Kumhos were no longer gripping in the rain (even though there was plenty of tread left).

Falken WildPeaks for the W and also just drive slower man it\u2019s never that deep. Don\u2019t wreck someone\u2019s life for a little convenience \u2764\ufe0f

I got slightly larger tires (I think 235/65/r17 but could be wrong) but they fit and look nice. Falkan wild peaks, they’re 3 ply and slightly heavier so they’re basically a money sink. Worse fuel economy, more road noise, more expensive to purchase. Buuuuut… Look cooler, better off road / snow performance, less likely to pop from impact.

The side walls on the Falken tires are very soft (like butter).

I currently have a set of Falken Rubitreks on my Landcruiser and coming from street tires, are just too rough for me on my commute.
