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.

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.

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’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.

Falken is getting better these days, they embrace their high performance heritage and are really pumping out some quality tires with good value.

The video you made is from 2018, so even 15 years later they still get noisier than other tires if i understand that correct.

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.

+Fitment Industries - I ran a set of Ziex 914's on a Passat and they were a bit wear happy. Then again, Michelin's ghastly Primacy 3 was no better. I currently use Dunlop SportMAXX RT2 on a UK spec 2012 Mazda 6. These are very nice indeed. Not quite as snappy as Bridgestone Potenza S001 in terms of steering response but the grip is relentless and the car still changes direction like a angry wasp. I think Azenis 510 is my target Falken tyre for this particular car (summer season anyway). I'm keen on Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 as well.

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

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.

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 ?

Best tires ever. Wildpeak AT on my truck. Ziex on my Civic Sport Hatchback. Awesome.

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.

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.

Big Sumitomo and Falken fan here. Pretty much all I run when I can help it. Theie pro 4 g/s all season is a beast in the snow, has good dry/wet traction and price+wear is reasonable. I experience the same with my Sumitomo HTRZIII's as well as my Falken 615k+'s. Good wear good price good performance across their range IMO. Can't go wrong.

SlowcarsInc On recommendation at Ntb tire store, I purchased a set of Sumitomo LSHs in March. They ride good and have a deep tread depth. Not that I'm looking forward to it but in several months, I'll see how they perform in snow and ice conditions.

I put those RT615's on my 928 and they lasted about 1000 miles. I don't race the car or drift it, they just wore out. And after half of that 1000 miles, they got hard as rocks. I went to the FK453's and they are far better, with almost the same grip.

I was really cheated by the hype around falken. I had 2 sets of falkens ( something like 452 and 512??) both tires were bald super fast! changed to hankook ventus v12 and lasted twice as long. tire rack tested them as one of the best dry and wet tire for the money. never had anything else since.
