Oh wow. I have FK452 on.. I'm scared of this happening to me. knock on wood.

 

couple of things, 275 on a 11... dont even mention stretch cuz its not

as for the tire, yep falken ftl... most ppl here in hawaii, the land of stretch , run on general UMP, sure its not as sexy as toyo and other brands but we run them cuz they work

 

F FK452s....sorry to hear that John....

 

My 452s lasted close to 30k miles with no issues. Still, I won't buy them anymore since they are super noisy.

 

sooo any help ???

 

Yikes that quite a gash

 

Did you check to see the manufactured date?

 

I have Falken Fk452 for 31k miles. I have no problems with them at all except they are a bit noisy. I am switching them out with some Hankooks soon since my sidewall been bald.

 

general UMP or UHP? i am going to go a tiny weeny stretch of 265/30 on a 10.5... is that good?

 

Falken FK452s are garbage.

 

not a stretch at all, your fine.


and a 275 shoudlnt have problems at all on your 11, its the brand

 

Agreed 452 are garbage... contact falken about this asap. This happened to my buddy's 350z..

 

This +1, I've stayed away from fk452's after it bubbling on me. If you want some good cheap tires to stretch, get nankang ns2's. Nothing but good reviews on VSC

 

no effing way, i have only heard good things about falken 452s.. and now when this thread comes up im kind of skeptical cus im running them right now. sigh, i have 2 sets of these tires too =.=

 

falken list your tires to be in spec, so you should be able to warranty that tire.

good luck.
