Yup, you need new tires. Stay off the freeway til you get some.

FK452's are garbage for stretching. They bubble really easily. But if you bend a wheel, chances are you have a bubbled tire as well.

I don't care what tires your running, strech or not even. I don't strech and got bubbles on michelin pilots. I think it has more to do w/ running low pros with camber. Sorry to hear that but, I just bought another set two days ago. Play=Pay....

245/35 on 9.5 = small stretch.

245/35 on 8.5 = almost perfect alignment on side wall and tire.

my $0.02

If you want to see pics let me know. I have 245/35 all around on 8.5 and 9.5.

bubbles on tires are just tire defects. it does nothing with stretch tires or low pros.
it happens on normal tires as well so dont blame it on wrong things.
gl on the replacement

Wrong. Go drive your tire into a curb, or drive on it flat, or hit a sharp edged pot hole with a low pro tire. You WILL get a bubble. Defective tires can also have bubbles form but in all other cases it is caused by some sort of impact trauma to the tire.

This is part of the reason Road Hazard warranties are so popular. Especially on cheaper made tires since their poor construction makes them more prone to this type of issue.

its also a lot to do with pressures when you're talking stretch and camber. you said in your other thread you have -2.5 which isnt enough to be 'riding on the sidewall' unless they're low on pressure. i try to keep mine around 40-42psi.

everyone seems to get bubbles on the Falkens though so it is also that they are prone to it esp in a stretch situation.

i guess it depends if you need the stretch or not. i have 235/35 on 9 and 245/35 on 10. the 235 on 9 is minor stretch and gives good rim protection still, 245/35 on 10 not so much but been okay so far.

Running 245/35 on 8.5 front and 275/35 on 10.5 rear and no problems so far.
