I am speaking from experience here. I did finally get some reimbursement in my situation but from tire kingdom, who in turn pursued Falken after the fact. If Falken's policy has since changed, I am unaware of it. Consequently, I'll never buy 912's again. Ever.
It's not just Falken, many if not all tire companies will not offer the xxx,000 miles guarantee unless you do regular tire rotation every 5000 miles which 95% of the people out there never do even if the tire sizes are the same.

Then again, why is the guarantee/warranty important for a tire, it's only useful if there's a defect on a tire which is unlikely to happen. Mileage guarantee also goes out the door as soon as you go on the track or auto-x event.
