Falken Tire began as Sumitomo Rubber Company in Japan in 1983. After opening offices in North America in 1991, the company began selling their tires under the Falken brand name.
Today, Falken Tire is known for their ultra high performance tires. These products are sold globally and are often used in racing. The company recently dissolved their longtime partnership with Goodyear, but purchased Goodyear’s Dunlop brand in 2016. In addition to passenger car tires, truck tires, and racing tires, the company also sells off road and 4X4 tires. Most stand alone locations are franchised.
Falken participates in numerous racing events, including the Le Mans and Formula One. The company was recently added as the Official Tire of the Major Baseball League. New Headquarters for the company were opened in Rancho Cucamonga, California, in 2012.

I have a car that discount tire put falken tires on, to which the 2 front tires have blown out and caused considerable damage to the car rendering it NOT LEGAL TO DRIVE. I have talked to a guy named Tim at Falken tire whom told me that they will not be honoring the claim due to “impact damage” causing the 1 tire to blow. I am trying to get ahold of someone else i can talk to as we are without a car and it is BADLY NEEDED for transportation to and from st george, ut to las vegas, nv. I am also in process of getting in touch with someone else at discount tire company as My family should not have to pay to fix a car that was damaged by tires produced by Falken, and installed by Discount Tire Company.
Please get back to me as someone is going to have to do something to help us get our transportation back. We should NOT have to just eat it and deal with this issue ourselves!
Thank you
James
