sup guys,i was wondering if anyone had any problem w/ their falken fk-452 tires?..ive heard good and bad things bout them...i got a set of them on my works vs-xx wheels right now and 1 tire on the driver side front got afew bad bubbles in them...i was told that they're notroious and known for having bubbles on sidewalls...lmk if anyone have heard or known of this problem w/ their falken tires...thanks

 

I have had my falkens on my car for 6 months now (225 and 275 series) and they are awesome. Handling and lack of road noise is what sold me on the tires. I never heard of the problems you mentioned.

Good Luck

 

Falken FK-452 on my rears for almost a year now, and love them. No problems here.

 

No bubbles...No problems...

 

same here...had 2 sets of falkens and no issues

 

only 3 months but they're great

 

I've had mine on my car for just over a year now with a little bit of negative camber and its just about time for some new ones but i love the tire i never had a single problem with them what so ever. I'm going to buy a new set of rears very soon.

 

do anyone know what causes them to have bubbles?...im thinking bout going to a 35 series next instead of 30 for more sidewalls.

 

sounds like you are in the minority regarding your bubble concerns. Have you tried getting the tire exchanged based on a manufacturers defect?

 

well id called falken and talked to them bout it and all they told me is its not manufactor defect,its me hitting pot holes...i was like these tires car pretty much new(90% tread).

 

I've only heard good things. The FK-451 was not that great, I guess problems with QC.

 

yeah heard good things...

 

I've had them for about 1000 miles now and no problems.

 

have anyone have trouble getting a tire shop to mount 245/35/20 tires on 20x9.5 wheels?...well, i took mine to discount tires to get the new tires mount on and they refuse to mount them because they said that thats the wrong tire size for that wheel width...they said the correct tire size is 255/30/35 or 365/30/35....all i know is im gonna have trouble finding someone to do the rears when it goes out since the front is all ready a pain in the ***...

 

245/35/20 are def. not wide enough to fit a width of 9.5. You're better off with a width of 265 or 275.
