    100k miles - One of the tire sensors broke off inside of tire. This caused the tire to have an "egg." Tire shop replaced sensor and tire but their tool was not able to reprogram 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage. I did not bother to get sensor reprogrammed elsewhere.

    Falken Sincera SN211 tire has been discontinued. I had tire replaced with Falken Sincera SN250 which has the sam 80k mile warranty.

    Falken tires

    I appreciate you sharing your positive experience with Falken tires. Ironically, the Dunlop Enasave tires are made/owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, which also makes Falken tires.

    Quoting another source: "Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. is a global tire and rubber company based in Japan. It is part of the Sumitomo Group. The company makes a wide range of rubber based products, including automobile tires, golf balls and tennis balls. Sumitomo brands include Dunlop Tyres, Falken Tire and Ohtsu Tire."

    If you look closely @ a factory Dunlop Enasave tire, you will find Sumitomo Rubber stamped on it. In the past, I considered Dunlop tires to be a cheaper version of Goodyear tires made elsewhere.

    Overall, Falken tires are inexpensive. It's good to hear someone is really happy with them. Given the miles you have racked up on your Mirage, no one should doubt your experience with tires. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it!!!

    190k miles - Replaced serpentine belt. The original belt looked perfect. I just didn't feel comfortable driving on a serpentine belt with nearly 200k miles on it.
