Falken Tires

I believe I’m gonna replace my sucky Michelin’s with a set of Falken 150’s ....

Done the research and they appear to be a decent tire..... Read a few reviews over on iRV2 written by guys that run them on their class A’s.... Glowing reports....

Any of u folks know anything firsthand about them????

Explain “sucky Michelins”

I’ve got Michelin on my bus and tundra and wife’s suv and they are the best tires we’ve ever had.

I’m currently on my second set of Michelin’s (tad over 4 years old) and they are covered with side-wall cracks..... Tons of tread left but cracks that I can stick a fingernail into!!!!

I have always kept them covered when parked for any length of time and have never used any “products” on them.....

My first set had the exact same issue at about the same time period....

Now call me crazy but when I’m paying close to $550+ per tire, I expect them to last longer than 4 yrs....

(Note: I checked the manufacture date on them when I got them and they were new tires....)

I too had them on my cars and was always pleased with the results - but on my coach it’s a totally different story.... but

30,000 miles and almost 3 of my years, plus one before that at the factory and my Michelins are smooooooth. Not a crack. And lots of tread.
