Sumitomo vs Falken

Sumitomo and Falken offer a range of tires, including Passenger, Performance, SUV/Truck, and Winter tires. Sumitomos tires are priced between $50-$150, while Falkens range between $50-$200. Both brands have a UTQG rating range of 400-600, which is a standardized system used to measure and compare the treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of tires. The higher the UTQG rating, the longer the expected tread life of the tire compared to a control tire. Developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the UTQG rating provides consumers with valuable information to make informed tire purchasing decisions.
