Love my Falkens. Once I bought those, I had a pair last me 4 years. Never looked back since. All my cars have Falkens now

Yeah I've been using Falken tires for a little while now they're pretty good tires. I got 75 thousand miles out of set of tires they were only guaranteed for 50,000 miles. Good rotation and balancing the tires on a regular basis really helps.

I had a small Dodge badged Japanese truck back in '86 thru '92. Every type of tire put on it got sideways badly in the rain (Alvin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, TX heavy rains.) Popped on a set of Falken FX-06 A2's and the thing would run arrow straight in the rain and still let me 'drift' on dirt roads!! Have been a huge fan of the Falken tire ever since...and that truck spent about half it's driving life @ 105m.p.h.! (maxxed out little 2 liter) all the way to 342,000 miles... Nice video dude! : )'

"Hey 18 is 18"-Alex

I've just put a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3 W LT305/65R18's on my Jeep and they are fantastic. Took them on a nice long run through the Superstition Mountains and did some rock crawling. Great traction!

I bought Falken Ziex tires for my ZX. I got a chuckle out of it. But then I started to get faster down the local canyon road, out of practicing, and felt a relationship with the brand. Best tires I've bought for rain.

you guys are awesome, thanks for these educational videos that nobody ever thought of doing before. U guys are the best and the editing is spectacular, THANKS!!

To be honest falken has one of the most iconic livery's for a tire company, and yes so does Yokohama also but it's easily reconizable by many people who watch any type of motorsport. Agree to disagree

Really like that you guys are going history on tires and springs now. Great job boys. Keep it up

I've been running Falkens for 7 years now, really good tires and saves you quite a lot money compared to equilevent tire from other companies.

Falken is getting better these days, they embrace their high performance heritage and are really pumping out some quality tires with good value. Consumers these days care less about the brand names as long as the tires have great performance at a competitive price. That's why Michelin and Continental tires are also upping their games in their sub-brands like BFG and General.

The truth about everything! I love this series! Hope you reach millions of subscribers

I recently bought a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3w's for my truck and I absolutely love them.

7:30 when you said that you don't think they'll dive into making extreme creative tires, it's false because the RT615 was that tire. The tread design is unique to Falken and really sticks out. When you see the tread, you know right away that they are Falken RT615. It's had 2 more iterations where the rubber compound was changed named RT615K and RT615K+. 7:45 when you said it doesn't have the same brand loyalty as others, I agree to an extent. If you ever go to an auto-x event like the one at Miller Park that's hosted every month, you'll find the RT615K+ on almost all the cars there. Almost all the FRS/BRZ/GT86 guys were running that tire just last weekend. Even I have a set for my Civic Si. Just absolutely great tires with a lot of grip. Brand loyalty may not be up there yet but so far, it's having a loyal fan base in the auto-x community. Especially with how cheap they are and how well they grip and even tread water pretty well too. I'm pretty much a fan now and would buy another set when these ones are wasted.

I put Falken RX-007s on my 80 Datsun 200SX in 1987. They totally transformed the car's handling. Great tires. Very grippy. I scared the crap out of several of my friends carving out turns on the backwoods roads in Vermont, where I lived. Used to drive to school 35 miles everyday on old two lane state highways. Very twisty roads with a 55mph limit. To entertain myself, I'd see how close I could get to an average of a mile per minute. My personal best was 35 miles in 32 minutes. I got three years and 75,000 miles of daily driving out of them.

Put a set of Falken Ziex 960 A/S on 2011 Mercedes C300. 12,000 miles review. Great price but really impressed with the comfort of the ride. It was quiet and simply more comfortable over the Michelin that had been on there. Braking, handling, and comfort are really impressive. The previous generation 950 was fairly loud, per many online reviews, but the 960 conquered that issue. Not loud at all.

I came here just to say "Are you Falken kidding me".... K I'm sure it's been said already but there I did it.

Sumitomo is not just a "rubber conglomerate". They are one of the 6 mega-conglomerates in Japan, called KEIRETSU. The closest comparison would be General Electric in the US or perhaps Samsung in Korea. Sumitomo group companies include NEC (electronics), Mazda (cars), and and SMBC (one of the major banks in Japan).

I have to say Falken is a brand I stuck with for at least 5 years. They are mounted on 22'' rims and are holding up well. For the price I feel the tires are just as good as competitors.

I'm running Falkens on my daily. Falken Wildpeak AT3W+. They're fantastic, rain or shine, cold or hot, dry or snow. Love love love my Falkens. Next I need a set for my you (95 Pontiac Firebird)

I had bought ziex 914 205/50-17 for my nissan grand livina last year. It's pretty good for driving in high speed in high way. And I love the durability of this sumitomo product. Saveral time get in the hole of bad road, and it still fine. And the last, it wothted for the money that I spend for it. Love falken😍

The building still says Sumitomo Rubber North America on Google Maps street view. When they changed it to Falken Tire Corporation a few years ago I thought the other company closed, did not know it was the same thing or that it was the company HQ I was driving by every morning.

New wheels & new Falken Sincera tires, today! So excited!!

I have used them on toyota echo and yaris with good service. this after the michelins on my echo had the side walls rot out and go flat with over 50 percent of tread left. The tire store said falkens are fully vulcanized and stand up in the sunlight here in Denver very well and they did. I went back to michelins because of a big sale discount. I have learned never to wash or put anything on a tire as that will make them rot faster.

Hi Alex. You mentioned that the tires get a little noisy after around the 8000 mile mark. Is this true for all the models of the Falken range ?

Do a episode on hankook tyres I'm using them fwd 300ft lbs s1 evo model grip really well better than the previous toyo t1r

I guess their go to market ploy worked on me. I loved growing up watching the Falken 911 race in ALMS. My truck came stock with those god awful Goodyear Wrangler tires. After the second pair that I bought, I switched over to Falken. All I do is highway driving. What really surprised me was the wet weather grip! It takes quite a bit of effort for me to make it step out. I bought a pair for my mom’s car, and when my dad drove it he too was surprised by the wet weather handling. I don’t think I’ll switch over to any other brand, especially for the price point.

Hopefully picking up some Falken RT615K+ for my first ever performance tires and I couldn't be more excited!

Omfg his pronunciation of Rancho Cucamonga lmao. Hilarious when you’re from socal.

I just bought Falken Azenis Fk510s for my car going to get them mounted on my Enkei t6s rims as soon as they come in from special order, I’m so excited for it, went with 245/45 r17s 😊

I like this guy. Was put off by him in the first 60 seconds, and then he grows on you a bit. Appreciate the effort he gives. Thanks man for the info.

I’ve ran 2 separate sets of falken tires and they were all loud once they were worn down a little. The tires were priced low and wear well. But construction wise they pick up nails/debris easily. First set were 329s picked up multiple nails and second set were stz05s picked up a piece of rust on the shoulder. That being said the only reason I rarely look into falken is that they aren’t advertised as much and a lot of their tread patterns are resold across the whole sumitomo line up with different names. It kinda lowers the exclusivity the brand.

I went FALKEN after years of replacing brand name tires that wore heavelly won't buy any other brand now just a great all round safe tyre.

I've got falkens on my winter wheels and I've got a set ohtsu tires on my centerlines I'm running in my volvo. Ohtsu is actually a cheaper brand owned and produced by falken.

Found both in one, winter/summer ziex 960 at 235/40/19 on 2018 Camry XSE. So far, so good!

*_Falken Punch_* !

i have fk510 on corsa 1.2 ,2014, they have very good grip/ handling/ braking in wet and dry quiet too

My boys back at it with dat knawwwledge! I actually live 2 exits away from Irwindale lol keep up the vids, Yokohama tires next?

Thanks for this footage.

I just got these for my civic 08 wow it’s super balanced and quiet 🥰🥰🥰🥰 in love with them!!!!

Great video, many thanks, I’m getting a full set of Falken winter tyres fitted to a new set of alloys for my BMW convertible, the Bridgestones on the original wheels will go into hibernation

Falkens are great iv had them before and will be buying again :)

I had a pair of Ziex on my old Corolla to accompany wider wheels. Man were they nice; offered more grip when cornerning, controlled slides, and predictable and sharp handling. As mentioned though, they were shit when they got older and in wet weather at 10k of hard driven miles I wear I could have died a few times trying to go over 65mph. Despite that during summer time when the tires are warm they perform nearly as good as day one.

are there certain summer tires or brand that i should look at for a vw golf r mk7? its awd but the thing is, clearly the pilot sport 4s is the best summer tire ever but i plan on running them only in the summer months so im thinkin those tires will be overkill. if i lived in florida id just run them all year round but since im in kentucky, im having a hard time. i have some pilot sport a/s3+'s for my winter setup but idk what summer tire to get, help?

The part which holds you to the road. So important to get the best tyre for that reason. I’m new to Falken, but have heard lots of good reports on them.

Loved the video!!! Loved that you stuck to your signature song XO tour life 👍🏿 for, “the truth about” series. 🖤

Rancho Cucamonga hahaha in San Bernardino. SoCal represent! Running falken ze ziex 950 love these tires.

:-) The last part about the noise was interesting. I had a set of Falken summer tires around 2002/2003. The first season they were really good, sticking to the road like superglue. Second summer: incredibly loud and "scared" of wet asphalt. Had to replace them as wit got too dangerous and loud for my taste. The video you made is from 2018, so even 15 years later they still get noisier than other tires if i understand that correct.

love the flakens i have them on my SUV quiet ride. , good in snow/rain 950 a/s tire... oh yeah good thread compond

i wish they still made the azenis 215k, they were much cheaper than the newer rt615 and were actually a better tire. Best bang for your buck in the early 2000s for a high performance tire

My GT came with Falkens when I bought it. Nearly killed me by surprise oversteer once or twice. Car is a FWD so dunno how it did that. Really didn't inspire confidence, so I junked them for some Continental ExtremeContact DWs. Best decision I ever made

Question....this is one of my favorite tires...any info on Versatyres???

Sumitomo is also big in the plastics industry, they own Demag which is a big name in the injection molding industry. We use almost exclusively Demag injection molding machines at work. Love them.

Running a set of falken ziex tires on the stock wheels of my mk3 supra and they ride great! Very quiet and smooth ride with decent traction. I haven't really pushed the car with them on being they are the tires I use to travel with, but for the price they are a great buy. Run a 245/40/17 squared setup with yokohama advan A048 for the fun stuff. Sticky but LOUD!! Next tires I'm buying are the Falken Wildpeak ATW3 all terrain tires in a 245/70/17 for my 4runner. Heard nothing but great things about them and again a very well priced tire.

Hmm boutta cop a set of FK510s but the low price tag is keeping me from fully committing as its usually cheap equals bad🤔

rancho cucamunga...youve never seen next friday?

Awesome vid, good info! Got any info vids on Kumho Tires?

Thannnnkkkss so much for making this video!!!!😄😄😄

I wanna see talks on Yokohama and Nitto. And hopefully reviews on their tires in the future I want a learn more about Nitto Invos

Had two sets, Wildpeak AT3 on a pickup that did very well and now OEM on my...VW? So far they're awesome. Comparable to a good Continental Extreme Contact.

What do you think about the FK450 A/S on the Q50 3.7?

Fitment Industries, Please do Hankook Tires next!

Yesssss, I haven't even watched the video yet but. I strongly requested this company since there my sponsor and we still get the falken 452 in custom sizes like 315-40-15 & 285-30-21 yes very rare.

Falkens are my favorite don't know why but yeah love em

I don't know if you guys been asked this already but what camera do you guys use to film that's it looks really good. the color grading always looks real good.

I liked the Falken's that I put on my CRX and Mustang so much that just a couple days ago I put a set on my Honda Odyssey. Oh wow!! These tires are great on my Odyssey. I got the Ziex960's only because I can't get the ZE950's anymore. These Falken's are smooth and comfortable riding unlike the Pirelli's that I had on there. Also, these tires are excellent handlers too. I drive a little spiritedly in my Odyssey and these tires are perfect. Love the Falken's!!

when I bought my car it had Falken (475 I think) tires worn out unevenly and old with cracks. I then did a track day before changing them to new federal st1 and I did 3s faster than with the st1 :). Anyway on analysis charts it shows about the same grip, so when they were new they must’ve been very good and strong.

Does Falken still mfg the ST80 passenger car tire? The regional tire shop Plaza Tire is really pushing these on me but I don't even see them listed on Falken's website?

The Dunlop brand is owned and the tires are made by Goodyear in Europe. That's what's left of the Sumitomo-Goodyear partnership. In Japan Sumitomo has made a lot of Dunlop branded OEM tires throughout the years. When I was a kid, I was wondering why in the world would a car made in Japan have Dunlop tires and not some japanese brand. Later I found out they were made by Sumitomo.

thanks for the video. a very good opinion about Falken tires from a customer in Romania🇷🇴 are the third set of tires I had for winter and summer. 👏

I love this guy. Best entertainment on u-tube. The automotive knowledge that you get is just a big plus. I do have a question though. I have a 2014 Ford with the stock 20 inch wheels that came with it. Does Bridgestone make a Blizzack tire for winter to fit it. I think it's a 265 or 275 tire size. Thanks.

Great informative review, thank you. Can you review Toyo tires sometime?

Overall good information for individuals with little to no tire knowledge.

Love the content! Do Zestino Tires next!

I’m addicted to these truth about videos. Truth about BF Goodrich, Truth about H&R.... ❤️

Falken was a popular recommendation on the online Honda/Acura forums in the early 2K's. I've tried a few different models on my Integra and none of them were overly impressive. The 502's were decent, better than the 512's anyway. I've had the best luck with BF Goodrich, Yokohama and Hankook.

Just got my falken pro g5 touring hahaha I love falken they do give you that secure but honest wheel

I am very pleased with my Falken tires. Good grip, good wear and quiet. I bought my tires "fresh" from Pep Boys.

I love my Falken ziex ze914a ecorun. They came as stock with my SKODA Superb 2015...and I love these tyres. Almost as good as premium tyres but a much lower pricetag. Just bought my second set.

Best intro so far. Btw, what the song name in the background?

So Falken does have a history! A good one too. 👍

Opinions please on the Falken Wildpeak A/T W's.... Would be going on a 15 Titan 4x4... Thanks for your time 👍

Fortune auto coil overs please!!!!!!!! I want some company history before buying a set for my 93 rx7

I have always bought Pirellis but got an SI almost a year ago that was on falken ziex ze950 all seasons. I don’t hate them but certainly don’t love them. I need new tires now so I looked up the falkens for the hell of it and they were within 3 dollars of a the continental extreme contact dws06 plus and within 5 dollars of the p zero a/s plus. Maybe their performance lines are better but those ziex as are not anywhere near the quality of other tires in the 600-700 range.

Had never heard of these tires before. Used to Goodyear. I was shocked at how inexpensive they are. Considering putting them on my Chrysler 300 which is has a wonderful ride but we live 5 miles on a goat trial with a lot of gravel and dirt roads...Hopefully they will be a good tire

Love my Falken AT's on my truck!

I got a set of falken azenis fk510 for my 3000gt vr4 about a month ago and I love them so far

215/45r/18 mazda 3 recomendation falken tire?

#teamfalken. had some rt615k on my civic, never had a flat, literally soaked up every nail and piece of glass without a care. lasted over a year without rotation. eventually a bunch of 1 wheel peels and a giant piece of broken construction metal on the road killed them.

At some point Dunlop was part of Good Year. Currently Dunlop is part of Sumitomo ( SRI ). / Falken.

Just bought a set after running on 2 sets of Yokohama but the Toyota dealer stopped carrying them. I have a Pruis and the dealer recommends buying fuelsaver grade that costs more. After doing some research most experts say fuel economy on any car is mostly due to one's driving style, fuelsaver tires may add 1 to 2% but i hardly think its worth the extra money. Driving home from the tire store i didn't notice any big difference in feel, noise, or economy. I've purchased the pro touring style so only time will determine if I made the right choice.

I have falken. They have only lasted just over a year. I don't do that many miles. Maybe my tracking is out, but still. I thought they would last longer than one year

I wanna see Bridgestone/Firestone tires. I work for them and install those tires everyday so it'd be pretty cool to know a little more about them

Is the brand involved in formula e?

Do one on Yokohama pleeasee.

I use the Falken Azenis Fk510 pretty good tyres so far.

I love my falcon rocky mountain ats2's on my tahoe.

I am way late to the party but they make a fantastic offroad tire. I just bought a 2013 Toyota Highlander from a dealership and it came with touring tires that I hated, they constantly made a weird sound going down the interstate and had trouble with vibration for some reason. So, after 3 wheel balances and 1 wheel alignment that didn't fix the problem I got rid of them and bought some FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAIL and they run smooth and quite and in the rain.... best tire I have ever had. I thought my old Good Year Wranglers were awesome and these put those to shame.

Alex, cool funny guys.... i love Falken tires. Please keep the videos comin ... can u do Nitto tires please..
