FALKEN TIRES | TIRE BUYING GUIDE
Falken Tire is well-known among automotive insiders for their high-performance tires for SUVs, crossovers, cars, and trucks — at affordable prices. Falken is typically referred to as a “replacement tire” brand, meaning it’s not part of most original manufacturers’ equipment, though some Chrysler and Mazda models come standard with Falken tires.
Although Falken Tire has not been around as long as some of the more familiar brands — hence it may not be as widely available as Michelin, Goodyear, and other household brand tires — it has some qualities worth noting. Falken has done a good job of taking its performance tire innovations and translating it into tires for cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers. Tire Agent is pleased to be an online tire dealer who sells Falken tires for passenger vehicles, muscle cars, sport coupes, and performance compact cars.
Falken Tire Categories
Falken offers tires in nine categories: all-season, performance all season, touring all season, summer, performance summer, on/off road, all terrain, all terrain/all season, and winter. For consumers who know what they want and are looking to buy high performance tires online without big price tags, Falken has a solid catalog of products.
When buying tires, the UTQG rating is one of the standards that tires are rated at — uniform tire quality grading. UTQG includes three factors: treadwear, traction, and temperature. Learn more about UTQG ratings and what they mean.
