What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 9 owner reviews found online.

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.

Pros

High value for money compared to premium competitors
Strong dry weather traction
Comfortable ride quality
Useful integrated tire wear indicators

Cons

Poor wet weather grip, including issues with wheel spin and braking
Inconsistent noise levels, with some users reporting excessive cabin drone
Subpar tread life and durability
Unpredictable handling in damp conditions

Worth knowing

Users driving smaller, lighter vehicles like the Daihatsu Cuore reported significant traction loss in wet conditions.
Owners of compact hatchbacks like the Toyota Corolla noted higher-than-expected road noise levels at moderate highway speeds.
