Question about impact of cold temperatures on RT660 compound

I friend of mine has a Miata with Falken RT-600 tires. He's out of the country, and it has been extremely cold where he has the car, and the full weight of the car is on the tires (it isn't up on blocks). I know track-oriented tires like the RT-660 tend to be susceptible to damage at cold temperatures (lows have been in the low to mid teens for several days, and the car is stored outside), so I contacted a Falken rep to ask if the tires are at risk of damage. She gave me good advice on what to tell my friend, and she was very courteous and professional.I would I

Brand new Falken tire on my 2023 Toyota Sienna p235/65 R17.103t m&s exploded

Brand new Falken tire on my 2023 Toyota Sienna p235/65 R17.103t m&s exploded
I was driving down I 75 in Florida when my tires right rear exploded. The van was towed to Deluca Toyota in Ocala on 02/10/23 with 155 miles on it. I called falken tire customer service after I found out that my tire might have a recall on it. I was very lucky it was the passenger side rear tire that exploded because it could have been a major accident if it was one of the front tires. I was told that Falken would pay for half the tire expense, however the other tires on the van scared my wife and myself so I had them put on Firestone tires.

My tires started wearing out less than 20,000 miles now they’re becoming very noisy

I purchased my truck last year with 20,000 miles on it right now have 45,000 miles on it. The tires were put on before I bought it now the tires have worn down unevenly to where theyre making noise .took it to tire shops had it inspected had front alignment, did not help the matter. They said I needed new tires. They are defective. The dealership advised me to contact tire company that issued the tires.

Warning

I bought a new Mazda in December 2018 which had Falcon tires. Today, after only 4,500 miles, I had to buy 4 new tires because the 2 back Falcon tires were bald and the front ones were close to it!

Dissatisfied with tires popping and grinding on turning

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Have had these new tires for 6 months. Wasnt happy with the noise every time I turn the wheel. Its sounds like a grinding and popping noise. Had them checked twice for air pressure and had them rotated. Still no difference. I will probably trade them in and get different tires and eat the cash difference.

These *** tires came on my 2020 Subaru Forester. When changing lanes or making a circular exit from expressway they feel like they are going to lose their grip at any moment.

Feel like you are driving on bald balloons. No grip. Tend to wander. Feel like they are going to let go on expressway ramps.

I have a service truck that Jiffy Lub put these tires on. I’m glad I’m still alive.

They were unsafe at any speed. They finally replaced all four with Uniroyals.

I have my old truck back ! STAY AWAY FROM THESE TIRES !!!!!

Purchased tyre and it got air bubble in 1 year only and now dealer is saying it will take 1 month to check and give other tyre. This is very pathetic to give another tyre in 1 month. Even customer care and given ph. no are not being picked by anyone, so it's total worst.

Worst tire and warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I purchased 4 tires for my truck. Wild Peak 305 ** **. At about 15000 miles the tread block started to separate from the tire. This was just one tire. So I just kept an eye on it. At 18000 it happened to two more tires and the 4th at 20k. I took them to my tire shop and was told they would send them back to Falken. Almost 4 months later I received word they will give me 300 dollars. 40k warranty tires with 20k miles that literally started to fall apart. Mind you the junk tires were $1300.00

I also bought a 2020 Subaru Ascent with Falken tires. Subaru is now telling me they need to be replaced with only ~14K miles on the tires.

The good news is Sewell Subaru offers to replace the tires free due to all the problems they've had with the tires. The bad news is they will only pay to replace them with the same make tire.

Mine have done the same thing! Stay away from these tires.
