Biggest problem I have with Falkens is country of origin. There are so many made in the USA tires out there, I just can’t justify buying Falkens.
I try to support US companies or US manufacturing when I can. sometimes you don’t have a choice, but there are lots of US made tires to choose from.
But none as highly rated as the Falken (which is also why I drive Toyota).
I put performance over national loyalty since buying tires is one of the least rewarding things I do every few years.
Got the Falkens installed yesterday - "Made In Thailand."
The Hankooks at the shop were from Indonesia.
We'll see...
