I purchased these tires for my Volvo XC70 2010. I loved them so much I did some research as I wanted to get them again. 41k miles on my car. Think it's time to replace.

Show your receipt to the manufacturer...oh wait you can't.That tire has 40000 miles on it.It shouldn't even pass the safety.the treads are gone.That tire is at least 3-4 years old and the best thing that happened is that you had to replace it because it split open as they were finished prior to this happening.

Falken ZE329 WORST tire EVER!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

When I bought a set of 225-**-** Falken ze329 I was expecting to be set on tires for some time. I was wrong!

with in a month I had a tire go down thought by the looks of it that it was slashed. The side wall was split so I know some one who can repair side walls after I couldn't seem to get any help with warranty. few months later another tire. a couple of weeks later I got a nail in another one.

As I was trying to repair the tire (with tire plug repair kit) I noticed that every time I went to plug the tire the whole continued to get bigger and bigger. Now today I had A blow out where the actual side wall of a tire blew apart like splitting bread. I have had the tires for some time now and even though they have 75 percent of tread left I am forced to buy a new set. But ill tell everyone I know it will never be a Falken tire.

I thought maybe it was my car being a little on the heavy side (97 Cougar ) but when I bought a used neon from a family member they had mentioned the just put new tires on it I look at the type sure to sh*& yep Falken ZE329 tires with the same exact problem! Had to replace two of those.

A little advice to the wise that might read this stay away from any Falken made anything! horrible company and poor product.

I would have to believe you had a warranty on your tires, so if the tire was defective they would be replaced. Did you not check that out?

You think that it's Falken's fault that your tires are getting slashed... and its their fault that you are running over nails??

Also you think that you know someone who fixes sliced sidewalls?! If that's the case then what you have the not too bright helping the not too bright.

Never try to "Fix" a slashed side wall. Almost any sidewall damage is very dangerous to 'try' to repair.

Yes it will cause a blow out, ("like splitting bread"), or worse... Any Brand!

Sorry you are having 'bad luck', but that is not Falken's fault. I personally have had really good results with Falken tires, as have many others that I know..

Tires shredded

We bought 4 Falken ZIEX tires , had a 50,000 warranty, the back tires were white after 18,000 miles because the treads had worn down. I called Sears where we bought them, they got in touch with falken, they said they are discontinued and now I have to buy new tires.

falken did say they will give us a 25% discount which we think is not fair they should honor the warranty. Now we have been waiting 4 weeks to find tires to replace them, Sears is telling me they can't find any. I will NEVER buy these tires again.

we originally wanted Michelin but Sears talked us into buying Falken! Gee, I wonder why?

I bought 4 new all-weather Falken tires in September. I live in Maine so it gets pretty bad in the winter time.

When winter showed up and the first time I drove in the snow, i slipped and slided and had no traction whatsoever. Had my car checked, nothing wrong. Tires are not good in snowy weather at all! I cant drive too fast or too close to anyone because if i have to brake suddenly, im not stopping right away or even close to it.

Noooo! I slide all the way to a stop when i finally do stop! Ive never had problems with any of that until i had these Falkens put on. I dont know why people are giving these tires a good review.

They must not live where it snows. Oh, and they dont grip the road in water either. The tread sucks! I spent $500 on them but now i have to buy another set so i can get to work without being terrified of getting killed.

Im going back to GOODYEAR! And the sucky thing is, ICANTGETMYMONEYBACK!

Falken Rebate expired

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I got a rebate for Falken tires I purchased at Discount Tire (Falken Azenius PT-722 purchased on 9/20/13. I misplaced the $60 visa debit card that was mailed out to me whiuch I just recently found. The card was only valid through 05/2014. I realize I am am fault for misplacing the card but I think it is unfair that they cannot re-issue the rebate that I was eligible for, given I purchased the tires and filled out the appropriate paperwork. I really feel they should try working with their customer and make an exception when I did everything correct, and am losing out only because I misplaced the card.

Falken Tire - Tires Review

My husband got these for his pt cruiser and by the time we made our 4 mile drive home 2 of these tires had a bulging air pocket in the tire wall and a few minutes later after realizing this one of those tires blew just sitting in our driveway and was flat in less than 2 minutes. We had to have it towed back to where we got them for fear of the other tire blowing on the way there. Very scary considering my husband drives 45 miles to and from work every . I'm glad we noticed it before he tried to drive to work because he wouldn't have made it and probably would have been late and could have lost his job of that would've happened.

NO 80 DOLLAR REBATE AFTER TWO TRIES ONCE BY MY ME SECOND BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM LEADER ERIC.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I SENT IN MY PAPER WORK PER THEIR INSTRUCTION WITH ALL ORIGINAL RECEIPTS. AFTER A NUMBER OF WEEKS LIKE FOUR I THOUGHT I WOULD SEE IF I WAS IN THE SYSTEM. NO CLAIM FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALLED MY TIRE DEALER BIG FRANKS TIRE HE CONTACTED VICKIE AND SHE HAD THEM RE- SUBMIT THE CLAIM, GOT A E-MAIL WITH NEW ID# 666****. FIVE WEEKS LATER TRIED TO SEE IF CLAIM WAS IN THEIR SYSTEM, SAME RESULTS NO CLAIM FOUND. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS A SCAM, AFTER TWO FAILED ATTEMPTS, I BELIEVE THIS IS HOW THEY GET AWAY FROM PAYING THE REBATE ON THE TIRES YOU BUY FROM THEM
