The Sincera SN250 A/S is Falken's Standard Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of family sedans, crossovers and minivans. It offers satisfying performance in both dry and wet conditions, with confident braking and effective traction in light snow.

Falken Sincera SN250 A/S callouts

The Sincera SN250 A/S's silica-enriched all-season tread compound is molded into a symmetric rib pattern designed to deliver a quiet and comfortable ride, regardless of the temperature. A wide footprint and a solid center rib enhance handling performance and deliver a stable on-center feel in dry driving conditions. Falken's interlocking 3D Canyon Sipes within the shoulders provide strength and wear resistance for satisfying tread life. Four wide, circumferential grooves assist hydroplaning resistance by effectively evacuating water from the tread to ensure secure contact with the road surface. The circumferential grooves work together with angled grooves, high-density sipes, and generous shoulder notches for confident all-season traction, even in light snow.

The internal construction of the Sincera SN250 A/S consists of a 2-ply polyester casing for a balanced combination of ride comfort and durability. The belt package consists of two high-tensile steel belts and a polyamide reinforcement cap ply for stable highway performance.

Breaking Down Tire Performance Categories - 2024 Special Test With Winter Update (26:05)

We understand that tire performance categories can be confusing. You want an all-season tire, but there are several all-season categories; how do you know which one is right for you? You want a summer tire, but again, which summer category? In this special demonstration, we took six all-season tires from three all-season categories and three summer tires from two summer categories to lay it out for you. Category-leading tires from the Standard Touring All-Season, Grand Touring All-Season, Ultra High Performance All-Season, Max Performance Summer, and Extreme Performance Summer categories are tested so you can see exactly what each "step up" gets you as a driver and what trade-offs were made along the way.

Customers Say

Ratings highlight excellence across key categories for this Grand Touring All-Season tire. Comfort stands out with smooth ride quality and low noise, though a few note slightly elevated road hum. Treadwear earns consistent praise for long-lasting performance, with many reporting minimal wear over extended use. Winter traction shows strength in light snow (8-9 range) but reveals limitations on ice, where scores dip to 3-6. Wet traction impresses with 8-10 ratings for grip and hydroplaning resistance. Dry performance shines brightest, with near-perfect 9-10 scores for responsive handling and cornering stability. Owners particularly appreciate the balanced all-season capability, with multiple mentions of confidence in varied conditions beyond winter extremes.

...Smooth riding, quiet and handle extremely well on wet roads.

These are on my work car making a 68 mile round trip daily. A few of those miles are gravel into the entrance of a coal mine shop. I have driven this car for 10 years to work and home, went thru several sets of tires. I haven't had a set of tires wear as well as these Falkens, nor ride as smooth on the highway. I mounted and balanced them myself, and none of the four took more than 1/2 ounce of weight to balance. Smooth riding, quiet and handle extremely well on wet roads.

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

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.

...And, although I haven't driven in the rain with them, the road was still wet after a rain on one drive, and they showed no signs of traction loss on damp curves...

As you can see, this is an initial impression review. I replaced some Kumho Solus tires with these and at first I wasn't sure they were as good, but once they had a few miles under their belts, (haha) I find them to be the Solus' equal. A Miata is not the best vehicle to judge some categories, like quietness, but they handle spirited driving extremely well. And, although I haven't driven in the rain with them, the road was still wet after a rain on one drive, and they showed no signs of traction loss on damp curves. All in all, a very good tire... especially for their very reasonable pricing.

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.

...For an all-season tire, I've taken this out in in some horrible snow/ice and this has, no exaggeration, performed better than *any* set of tires I owned in inclement weather. I am on very fresh tread, but to say I am impressed is an understatement...

These are admittedly new(ish) tires and I will be updating this review over the life of the tire. I am not an expert, but I do drive a lot.
So, as a "first impressions" review, here's what you can expect from your first few weeks with them:
- Decent roadfeel. This is mostly going to be up to your car's suspension, but I notice they do smooth out some bumps that previous sets (this is my 3rd) did not. Not so much you won't still experience imperfections, but they'll be smoother.
- Shockingly good traction. For an all-season tire, I've taken this out in some horrible snow/ice and this has, no exaggeration, performed better than *any* set of tires I owned in inclement weather. I am on very fresh tread, but to say I am impressed is an understatement.
- Reactive, in-control. The tires feel centered, planted and responsive. Whether I'm doing [speed redacted] on the highway or leisurely cruising around town, taking a corner quickly or swerving to avoid something feels confident and assured. Steering is all about transforming thought into action and these accomplish that seemlessly.

That's about it for my early thoughts! I look forward to updating this in the next 5,000 miles (or anything significant happening in the meantime).

...My daughter reports feeling more confident with these tires, and feels they've done very well in our snow so far...

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.

...Now, my car has transformed into a much more confident, communicative, stable machine... It simply feels like a more premium, expensive, athletic tire... have already driven them hard in the dry, they did not disappoint!

Have only had them for ~500 miles. However I am verrry impressed with these tires. My car's steering feel, is now heavy-ish with these tires, (just the way I like it). Moreover, when I need to use more steering input, the tire has a superb, linear weight to it, as the car is steered harder. My previous tires, (Kumho Solus TA11), had a much lighter steering feel, and were very vague, compared to these Falken's. Now, my car has transformed into a much more confident, communicative, stable machine. Furthermore, the Falken Sincera SN250 is more quiet, more comfortable, much more grip, and much more athletic than my previous Kumho's. It simply feels like a more premium, expensive, athletic tire, (even though the cost was only about $100 more, overall). It is early to tell, but as of my writing, I have high hopes for these Falken's! Looking forward to pushing them in heavy rain, will see how that goes...have already driven them hard in the dry, they did not disappoint!

Tire is excellent choice for comfort and noise. They replaced Sumitomo PO2s which were ok for price and Performance, but were terrible jn terms of ride quality. Upon driving these I noticed the steering was much lighter in addition to the improved comfort.

Did not test wet comfort, but got it with wet performance in mind. My climate does not experience snow so no comments there either.

The only negative to these tires is the single ply sidewall in the smaller sizes which contributes to the pricepoint and comfort, but i would have prefered a 2 plu sidewall
