FalkenSincera SN201 A/S
Falken Sincera SN201 A/S The Falken Sincera SN201 A/S is an all-season tire for drivers who want reliable traction that lasts season after season. If you're looking for dependable year round performance that you can count on, this is the tire for you. Its features include: This tire is designed for compact and mid-sized vehicles, delivering wet and dry performance with long-lasting and superb value. Its symmetrical tread design uses stiff ribs for optimal handling, stability and comfort (bonus: they can be cross-rotated for longevity!). With its high sipe density, you can expect enhanced all-season drivability, so you can keep going even when the weather turns foul. Enjoy increased wet weather safety thanks to four circumferential grooves that channel water away from the tread, for consistent road contact. Angled grooves provide voids for packed snow, giving you very light snow traction. A solid center rib delivers linear stability for braking and accelerating. Available in 1'' to 18'' rim diameters, it fits many vehicles, including: Honda Accord, Dodge Caliber, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Chevy Impala and more. For optimal tread wear and performance, these tires roll off the production line with 11/32" of tread depth. Falken backs this tire with its 30-Day Ride Guarantee and a 65,000-mile warranty. Protect against daily dangers with our exclusive Certificates, the best tire protection coverage out there. Boost your on-road confidence and add our Certs in your c

THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 PLYMOUTH BREEZE EQUIPPED WITH FALKEN SINCERA (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 195/70/R14 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE BEAD WIRE BECAME UNRAVELED, CUT THROUGH THE BRAKES LINE, AND FRACTURED THE LOWER BALL JOINT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE, WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000.
TIRE COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 70MPH. ONLY ABOUT 2 INCHES OF THE SIDEWALL ARE LEFT ON THE RIM. THE ENTIRE HALF OF THE TREAD-SIDE WAS GONE. NO IMPACT UPON EVENT. SIMPLY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL ALL THE WAY AROUND. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE REMAINS. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
TWO LARGE BULGES ON INSIDE SIDEWALL. STUCK OUT APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF AN INCH WITH THE SURFACE AREA OF A SLIVER DOLLAR. FELT INCREASINGLY LIKE UNBALANCED TIRE IN REAR. NEVER BLEW. DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ROADWAY DEBRIS BEFORE OCCURRENCE. I HAVE RETAINED THE TIRE.
The contact owns a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 equipped with Falken Tires, Tire Line: Wild Peak AT3W, Tire Size: LT285/55/R20, DOT Number: (NA).

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was made aware that the driver's side tire had dry cracking on the inside sidewall and the front passenger's side and rear passenger's and driver's side tires had bead separation. The tires were not replaced. The tires were replacement tires. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,000.

Falken sincera SN201 A/S: what the numbers tell you
The Sincera SN201 A/S's UTQG treadwear rating of 620 puts it in the long-wear class. Its compound is engineered for life over outright grip, which is appropriate for an everyday touring tire. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a all-season tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Sincera SN201 A/S is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
