Falken FK452's
Hey guys,
I'm getting bad camber wear on my front Falken FK452's, and I was wondering if it would be unsafe if I were to flip the tires and switch the driver side tire with the passenger side so they are both going in the right direction.
I guess the real question is, does Falken FK452's have inside or outside sidewall?
Thanks!

About the 452's, read up on the many stories of people experiencing bubbles in the sidewalls. For around the same price I recommend Yokohama S.drives.
I have had mine for 38k miles and have had a great experience with them. The surprising thing about them is it has been raining in LA for a few days and despite having really low tread depth I have not been experiencing any hydroplaning and never have with these tires.

there are better tires BUT those are good tires as you have experienced. i have also, and many people i know will only run Falken. i had a pair of there 305-45-22 a few years back and they ran for 65k even wear. Not sure about those posts, but you bang any tire hard enough in a pothole it will burst or bubble. im not saying it didnt happen, im just saying they are good tires, not the best.

FK452 is the worst junk ever made, people get them because they're cheap, they have terrible everything. I never understood why people bought these tires, but then again people you get what you pay for.
I just got my PS2's and I'm abusing them like nobody's business

There are no tires on the market that are MADE to be stretched. Anyone telling you that is a liar or simply dont know wtf theyre talkin about.
Stretching/running hella camber is a pay 2 play type deal. We do it for looks and as a result have come to expect a short(er) lifespan.
We all have our own definition of "Bad"....
I find it amazing that people are telling u to do it without seeing a picture or even asking if its inside or outside wear...or even asking if the car has factory specs or if youve adjusted the camber for looks, etc,etc.
Way too many factors to speculate on a saftey issue without knowing all the facts.
Find a tire shop that can tell u if its safe to swap them.
*Full Disclosure: Yes, My cars are factory sponsored by FALKEN, but that doesnt change the facts that you need a professional to look at the tires and your car.
