Falkens rub on the fenders with stock sports suspension but provides a more comfortable ride than RFs.

Hi everyone,
I bought my wheels about 7 months ago and here is the description:
Style 32 OEM - 20x9 and 20x10 front/rear respectively
Tires: 255/30/R20 Front
295/25/R20 Rear
I probably have around 7K miles on the tires and this past friday I went in for a re balance and found out both of my rears have massive bulges in them. I accidently ran one low for a day's commute and the other just got a bulge in it. My tire guy said the bulge on one side came from the low pressure and the other side was just a bulge. I asked him about Michellin PS2s and he told me those tires were even softer, and therefore more likely to bulge.
Point is, if you're running a low series tire like me, check tire pressure at least once a week if not more. Also, get rebalanced and aligned once a month regardless of if you think you need it or not. Its better to do this than to have to spend another $500+ on two new tires....Hope this info helps....

Check out the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S too. I just put on a new set of 295/25/20's because I got a bubble on my Toyo's as well. You should get into the habit of checking your air pressure once every other week.

I've never had any recent problem with buldges on tires running Michelin or Goodyear. I really like the Goodyear F1 asymmetric. I can't tell how long they'll last though.
I would think the TPM should catch any pressure low enough to cause an issue. I've had mine go off at 29psi. But even still, I check pressures regularly.

I had Toyo 18" and they are no good if you pushing the car And useless in the wet, will never get Toyo again. :thumbsdown:
Maybe the US version is better.
