Repost Falken Tires

Have you heard of this brand? If so, was it good or bad? Thinking about putting on my 30’ motorhome
  • Had a set on my Hummer H3...good tire, no issues, ran 50k miles or so.
  • Falken is a fairly old (1983) name brand. Just not real popular here in the US. Might compare them to Hankook, which is another well known tire mfg out of Korea.

    X2 I sold Falken tires when I was in the tire business in the 1980s. They were good tires back then. Don't know about now
  • Falken tires is the passenger car, suv, medium truck division of Sumitomo Rubber Industries. Sumitomo is one of Japan's oldest, and best tire manufacturers. They entered the US market in the mid 1980's but have never been heavily marketed, Many trucking firms use Sumitomo tires due to their reasonable price and excellent performance.
  • Had a set on a Jeep Wrangler, liked them and they wore well.
  • A buddy of mine sells tires and that's what he runs on his personal pick up truck. I'd run them.
