I wouldn't let what happened to me stop you from the 452's. I'm sure mine is an isolated incident. Personally I won't ever buy them again, call me paranoid, but no mas. ......and you right our roads do suck here in Houston, but what can you do......????

I'm in the same situation about the 452s, but I have them only for the upfront. i have choice Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta for the rear.

Very good rear choice

I'm rolling on my stock wheels again due to my 452's having some outrageous problems. One bubbled, the other blew up so now I'm planning on going with Toyo Proxes 4.

Did the bubbling occur on the sidewall? Are you guys stretching your tires? Im not stretched so I shouldnt have problems right?

You gotta search on google. These tires have gotten horrible reviews, stay away.

Default falken

Well right now im running falken 245/35/20 front and falken 255/30/20 rear w/ mild stretch on rear....
i just got a new set of 2-continental tires 255/30/20.. i was going to put them up front so that it would look better with a smaller side wall..... Would they be better if i move the 255/30 falken to the front,continetal on rear so they arent stretched out plus less weight when i have people in the car?????

Wow sorry to hear about that. That's very dangerous. I'm running the exact same size as you, 275/30/20. Mine is mildly stretched. No problems so far, and I like them a lot. I'll be sure to keep an eye on mine and make sure they are properly inflated.

Hopefully this is an isolated incident, as I know that it is a hugely popular tire and a lot of people run these on their aftermarket setups.
