WATERFALL TIRES | TIRE BUYING GUIDE
These made-in-Turkey tires are distributed by Horizon Tire, based in California, and sold through Tire Agent online. Positioned as a "premium economy tire brand," Waterfall makes passenger tires. Among tire brands, Waterfall is in its infancy, founded the year 2000 under the brand Kolsan. The company prides itself on focusing on sustainability alongside safety and fuel economy.
Waterfall tires are noted for being a great budget choice with good performance for their price. The tires have excellent dry pavement performance with reviewers saying they ride smooth, comfortable and quiet. Waterfall tires also get excellent fuel efficiency due to their lighter weight and low resistance on the road. However, Waterfall tires are not known for their long tread life. Reviewers note the Waterfall Eco All-season tire tread to wear down at about 20,000 miles. Rotating tires to extend tread life will be key with these.

However, the price of Waterfall tires ranges from as low as $50 to a little over $100, which is very hard to beat.

What is the Waterfall tire warranty?
Waterfall offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty. This means that you’ll receive a credit for the remaining miles left out of 45,000 based on the retail price. So if your tire wears out after 20,000 miles, you’ll receive credit for the remaining 25,000 miles. However, note that this credit won’t apply to a discounted price, so you may not be able to claim anything due to their treadwear warranty limit being so low. This is common with cheaper, budget brands.
