the consensus on vip forums is that falken's 452 will take a crap on you quickly if your car is heavy and cambered. i've been avoiding them simply because of anecdotal evidence -- i put myself in danger enough on the road without having to run tires with a reputation for failing on a car like mine.

perhaps switching your choice of tire is in order?

I don't know though, they would probably try some recommended tire size per wheel size bullshit excuse if you tried to take recourse. That's just my opinion though.

people who blow tires from stretching usually ALWAYS have an inflation problem.

sideway heats up past op temp, wears out the chords on the inside of the sidewall and then catastrophic failure like seen above. Glad the car and you brother are alright.
