I think I'll just go with these ones.

Bridgestone Potenza RE760

Anybody think I should stick with the Falkens? I can get those for $102 a piece at the local Sears.

 

3 set of different wheels with the same time and the same problem.... Bubbles no bueno

 

seems to happen to the bigger sizes only.
i see plenty of em come in with bubbles to my shop

 

Great pic of the car, i actually had bubbles in the front once too but overall they look great ;p

 

yeah im amazed people keep buying them and putting them on VIP cars! must be an american thing you dont see them here in Australia that much, at least not over here in West Aust, and you dont see them in Japan either.

 

I got Ling Longs lmao.. they were cheap..

 

Great tire

 

so I was just about to buy a set of fk452 225/35/19 & 235/35/19 for some 19x9.5 & 19x10.5's... cant be dealing with bubbles and **** but was looking forward to the predictable "mild" stretch these tires have a good rep for.. if you all are sayin not to use these, what tire with similar characteristics but better build quality do you guys recommend? Is it possible these tires had a bad rap before and "older" sets were going bad and they've since fixed the problem causing this? I was liking them for their supposed stronger sidewall/ outer edge also, because I heard they wear better for those of us rolling with a lot of camber due to being dumped on air... I'd like to hear from those who had the fk452's that went with something different due to problems, etc. thanks in advance and appreciate the heads up.

 

that belongs to norman down in San Diego .... aka vip-tint, the original falken JP GS!

 

Yeah thats what I thought.. Vip tint. Car was also featured in Super Street

 

so nobody answered my question a couple posts up.. if the falkens are so ****ty what tires do u guys recommend that u actually tried/switched to after the falkens failed? keep in mind I need something available in the sizes I mentioned in my first post...

 

I love my Falkens! I've used 451's and the 452's. Only people I know of that bubbled sidewalls ran the air too high or ran them too low at one point. Oh and a pothole is a pothole no matter what your ridin on.

 

check out federals, or nankang, or sumitomo
i prefer federals because they are hella cheap and quality. sizes are kinda beefy though. so stretches dont look as good as other brands
oh also, dunlop direzza's look similar to fk452

 

Maybe Rikens....made by Michelin
