Repost Falken Tires

[Roadtoads]

Have you heard of this brand? If so, was it good or bad? Thinking about putting on my 30’ motorhome

A buddy of mine sells tires and that's what he runs on his personal pick up truck. I'd run them.

Had a set on a Jeep Wrangler, liked them and they wore well.

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.

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
