Anyone had problems with Falken ZE512 tires??
was driving east on 10 freeway doing 70mph and suddenly one of the rear tire just blow out. almost lost control and ended up in the emerency lane in the middle of the fwy till the CHP came and stopped all the traffic so i could pull to the right hand side get my spare on.....went back to the shop and was told it wasn't covered by manufacture even though i only had the tires for less than 3 months with roughly 2500 miles on it......
i can't believe these trusted falkens can't even last as long as my oem Potenzas......

i can't prove anything since the side wall was all threaded in pieces. i'll just have to take it as a loss but i hope this doesn't happen to anyone else

then something probably did cause the tire to go low in pressure. if the sidewall is all messed up like you describe, then low pressure was the cause of that blow out.

Yeah and plus like you mentioned the Falken's are trusted and for a reason. They're good tires. It probably was a foreign object that the tire hit.

umm, what about the tire pressure monitoring system?
What about the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)? Wouldn't you have known if there was an issue the day you were driving it. I know at 33psi it doesn't flash but i think maybe 31 it would. I know it does at 20psi because it did for me when I had the potenzas. I always have the LCD on the TPMS because I usually drive 100+ mph.
