Falken Sincera SN250 A/S Grand Touring All-Season Tires in 215/65R17

Great tires. Difference in comfort and steering response over sumitomo HTR was significant and would much rather get these again over those. One giant caveat is that these tires have a single ply sidewall which is where the improvement in comfor comes in. So far no issues with buldging.

As far as grip goes, these have good dry grip in pretty much all situations and have not been wanting more for regular driving. Wet Grip is amazing and much better than the last gen HTRs. Very confidence inspiring and able to keep up with faster traffic in the wet without hydroplaning.

Would recommend if the price is still less than the competition and Wet Grip is a priority.

She really loves the wet traction of these tires. The previous tires would spin on acceleration, and the rear of the car would try to break loose in sharp curves. These new tires just grip and go. Love it!

Great value. Great in the rain. These tires really stop.

My Thoughts After 1,000 Miles in Seattle / Everett Winter Driving

After about 1,000 miles of driving around the Seattle–Everett area in February and March, mostly in rain with a little light snow, my experience with the Falken Sincera SN250 A/S tires has been very positive. They have felt confident on wet highways and county roads, with stable braking and good traction even during heavy rain, which is exactly what I want for typical winter conditions here. The ride has been smooth and quiet on both city streets and freeway driving, and the handling feels predictable and comfortable for daily commuting. From my own experience so far, they seem well suited to the frequent rain we get in the Pacific Northwest. Although they are not designed for serious snow or ice, they handled the light snow we encountered without any issues. Overall, after the first thousand miles, my impression is that they are a well-priced, comfortable, and dependable tire for everyday driving in the wet Seattle area climate.

I have never seen better ice/snow traction (average to slow speeds) till I got these tiers.

These tires are for my daughter's car. I was pleasantly surprised with the roadholding, smoothness, and quietness of the ride with these tires. I had very modest expectations and these tires have exceeded them. My daughter reports feeling much more confident with these tires, and feels they've done very well in our snow so far. I'm normally not a big fan of Falken tires. The set that came on my wife's Subaru wore very quickly, and were a bit noisy. These Falken's seem like a much better tire and so far, I am happy with these.

I bought this tire because it seemed like a good combination of low cost and good ratings. I have been extremely happy with this tire. Good wet traction. Good dry traction. Quiet and comfortable. Everything i want in a tire. Im due for rotation, and I will check treadwear soon.

My TDI has 460K miles on it, I drive 30K+ / year
I bought these for the treadwear rating alone.
Wet and dry cornering performance are both well above my expectation.
I was caught in a snow storm before I changed over to the snow tires.
4" on the ground and unplowed back roads to get around accidents.
at no time did I feel I would not get through. I am very pleased

Great tire for the price. It performs well in just about all conditions, and though it's not a dedicated snow tire it does pretty well in light to moderate snow. They are comfortable and they ride very nice. They handle well and they are doing well as far as tread wear.

Great tires for the price, even when they’re not on sale. Great comfort on long highway drives. Decently sporty on faster downtown streets. Would like more road feel.

These tires are confidence inspiring in the wet. They maintain their predictable responsiveness, and surpass expectations during braking.

Haven’t had enough snow or ice to put them to the test. Overall, I would put this set on my daily driver again.

Wearing very well. Comfort and road noise have been very good. Traction is surprisingly good and the car handles great for a 90’s grocery getter.

Good tire for the money.. Treadwear seems to be very good so far. The Falkens are noisier (hum) than the Generals previously mounted. Falken is a good all-purpose tire that handles securely, and I'm pleased with them.

Obtaining and installing tires no problem. Tread wear is good so far. I have no complaints about tread ware, noise or handling. These tires seem to be good value and met expectations. I have no complaints
