neh, falken 452s arent that good, they're only shown as good because they're all on the VIP cars shown at shows.

Is that a nail as well? I know that if a tire is low or flat it could also pull the side wall like that. Nail might have been the cause.

Seems like under inflated tire. Happened to me 2 times, ironically with fk452. Ppl would tell me, but I kept driving it like that
