The Falken Sincera SN250 AS is widely regarded as a high-value, budget-friendly all-season tire that excels in ride comfort and dry-road handling. While most users praise its quiet operation and performance in rain and moderate temperatures, there is a notable divide regarding its longevity and winter weather capabilities.
The Falken SN828 is a polarizing budget-oriented tire that receives highly inconsistent feedback regarding its wet-weather performance and noise levels. While some users praise its value, dry grip, and comfort, others report significant safety concerns during rain and disappointing tread longevity.

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
