Falken Tires: Frequently Asked Questions

Are Falken tires any good?

Falken tires are good replacement tires, especially if you are looking for an affordable quality tire for your car, truck, SUV or CUV. The word on the street is, Falken is big into competition tires, and they have infused their passenger vehicle tires with the same technology and quality of race car tires. They are not the best vehicle tires that you can buy, but they aren’t the worst. Falkens are mid-priced replacement tires with slight above average performance. 

Where are Falken tires made?

Sumitomo Rubber North America owns the Falken Tires brand. Its U.S. headquarters are in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and it has six distribution centers in the United States. Falken has been under the Sumitomo brand since 1983. Most of their tires are made in Japan and Thailand, although the company opened a tire plant in Buffalo, N.Y., in 2016.  

Who sells Falken tires?

You’ll receive a confirmation letting you know when your tiers will ship.

We can ship to your home, to one of our partner tire installers, or to the tire installation company of your choice. Simply put the address in the Ship-To field, and we’ll send your Falken tires to your local installer and include your customer name on the invoice.   

How does the Falken tire warranty work?

Note that most manufacturers’ warranties require that tires are installed by licensed automotive repair people (we can help you find one near you), and you have to rotate them every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Make sure you understand how tire warranties work.
