i'm sure if you let falken know about this... they'll give you free tires for life... haha. that sucks though, how did you get it home?

[cheez80]

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?

[mpower5266]

That sucks.

[cardoza]

Holy shit man, that's nuts. Not even a crazy amount of stretch.

[phillygs3]

Damn that sucks, Thats why I always check my tire pressure
