Falken is a common brand, and they are more subject to pot holes and such. Plus you need to keep the pressures maxxed out. You should be able to get the tire locally, though they may have to order it, BCB Parts can also ship you a tire, pending you have no wheel damage. The tires pull very well and handle great, they are not as durable and not as good in the rain. Iaconelli, Kiriyama, Starks and more have put thousands of miles on the Falken tires going across country. The only one with repetition is Iaconelli, though often he has paid drivers who tend to not be as cautious we feel.The answer is yes, though really not a major factor from our perspective.
