interesting. i wonder if that's only no the 115 or it's on 452 as well? i know couple of friends with 452 and they are all fine so far

Henry, I'm not talking about a small bubble. Half the tire is a big *** wart. I should have taken pics. I think I will tomorrow.

I'm going with what the hell I said I was in the first place, Michelin PS2s (leaning b/c Lexus uses on the IS-F/Porsche etc) and the Goodyear Eagle F1s (which seem to be the best tire out now).

wow, that sounds bad. how long have you had the tires for, mike? definitely take some pics

for the record i saw something similar on my friend's dunlop. caused a lot of vibrations on driving

I am visiting America's Tire tomorrow too.

Over the weekend, I some how ran over a nail and drove on it for several blocks from home. Didn't realize the flat until 3 blocks away. so lucky.

Anyway, I have the Falkin Zeix 512. I'm glad i bought those certificates for free replacement (road hazard).

I hope they will let me drop off the wheel/tire instead of driving the car there w. a spare. I currently have it on jackstands.

When I originally stated the bubbling, it was in reference to the 452. Lots of vsc members thought it was an isolated incident after replacing tire after tire. They ruled out tire mounter/conditions and moved onto a different brand tire.

I'm going to be going with Bridgestone Potenza RE960A's seem to have good reviews, hopefully better than the mileage I got out of my Falkens (not to mention less road noise).

i had 235 30 20 and 255 30 20 fk452s on my vientray's and the only problem i have with them is how much rubber there ISNT between the wheels lip and the pavement.. its scary as hell and you can wreck wheels so easily running a profile this low with a 20 inch wheel. be careful..rubber band tire is not even the word..but this will be the case running ANY brand in this size. other then that the tires themselves were fine. they lasted well even with the slight camber that was caused by driving with tein cs v2 cranked all the way down. while we're talking about this stuff, i want to ask you guys what the next most logical bump up in tire size would be for my 20s without adding too much in the way of width...i just clear now with the 235s in the front and the 255s in the back (34 offset) but like i said there is next to zero cushion between the road and these wheels with that tire size.

I just looked at my records, right at 5k miles. Mind you, I just tacked on 1300 easy last weekend going to W.Palm Beach and back...

Yup, running a conservative fitment with stretched tires will look out of place.

slammed_gs

Even if I have a 20x10 in the back with a 10mm spacer and a 20x8.5 with a 5mm spacer?

V8_Aristo

This will depend on the original offsets.

I run a stretched tire because of this.

reading some of the feed back on the falkens fk 452's. i must say being in the tire and wheel biznass. these tires have always performed well for me im running 245-35-20. 20x8.5(f), 255-35-20. 20x10(r). 1sicklex seems like from what i read the tire you have with the bubble is a side wall failure. this could be caused by a few differnt things, such as low air pressure, or impact from a pothole. see when these cars (or any car for that matter) are lowered the camber is put in a negative stance there fore the contact patch is shortend. putting all of the cars weight on the inside tread and inside sidewall this creates heat and eventually failure of the sidewall (your bubble). slamed gs you should look into 225-35-20, 255-35-20, if the streched look is what your going for nanking makes both these sizes and they are a decent tire @ a good price. lets face it with no camber kits out for our cars and as costly as it is just to drive these days. to spend 7 to 800 dollars on a set of tires thats gonna be wore out in @ most 20,000 miles is a little crazy............................just my $.02 worth!!!!!!!!
