Notice how the word "FAILURE" is bubbled out on the last picture



and.....

Be afraid!

 

I didn't even notice that lol. Seriously, I've had the worst luck with tires. My Works have sat in storage forever.

 

change those bad boys out... air trapped in the sidewalls is dangerous

 

Those bubbles need to be popped. :-)

Thats a good reminder to check the tires. I usually do that when I change the oil.

 

Nitrogen FTW! I haven't lost any pressure ever since I got my new tires put on and the weather here is below zero most of the time in the winter. I'll be getting nitrogen in my tires from now on, so worth it. No more waking up to go work and one or more of my tires are very noticeably low.

 

When we bought my g/f's Honda I checked to see if it had a donut. What I didn't do was take it out and inspect it. The first time she got a flat, I pulled the donut out only to find that it had been slashed on the underside. Not sure who slashes a donut, but for that matter, who keeps a slashed donut when they are $15 at a junkyard?

Is this just on the 452 series? I've been running 512's for a while now and have not had any issues. A few friends have been running 912's and love them.

 

Nothing wrong with 912's, it's the 452 series. But I'll still call them Failken for now on and never buy another one. I'm only buying good name brand tires this year.

 

I'd rather buy no names than those 452's

 

The brand new special looking valve stems that came with my Enkei's leak (3 out of 4) after only a few thousand miles...but at least my tires themselves don't!
