Who it's for
Toyota Camry and Corolla, Nissan Altima and Sunny, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra
Pros
- Quiet on concrete highway sections
- Low rolling resistance helps fuel use
- Even wear when rotated every 10,000 km
Cons
- Steering feel is soft for sporty drivers
- Not available in many 19-inch sizes
Our verdict for UAE roads
A sensible choice for high daily mileage on the E11 and E311; expect 40,000–55,000 km in UAE heat if pressures are kept at the door-placard value.

Falken is distributed in the UAE through established tyre importers and is easy to find in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for popular sizes such as 215/55 R17, 235/45 R18, 265/65 R17 and 275/70 R16. Ask for the DOT code before fitting: stock in the UAE moves at a moderate pace, and you should not accept a tyre made more than about 2 years earlier. For desert use, the Wildpeak A/T3WA is the Falken to choose; the highway-focused Wildpeak H/T02 is quieter but should not be aired below about 20 psi in soft sand. Our technicians can fit Falken tyres at your home or office in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, with fitting from AED 100.
