sup guy in new around here and i got some tire issue and is there possibility i can get the new tires from them?

well, i bought this Falken FK-452 tires from Tiresavings.com below above 5 month ago and at first i brings the Tire in to Discount Tire to mount the Tire to the rims and then they install the wheels to the car and i drove the car home and i felt slight vibration on my steering wheel and i brought it back in and i told them i felt slight vitbration on my steering wheel, and they say it because of the low profiles tires that make the steering wheels vibration, so i thought it be find since it just slight vibrate and i kept drove the car with this tires on, so i drove to works everyday and from my home to works it about 2 miles and the more i drove the more felt vibration it get and it get worths and tile now today that i felt unsafe and i bring it in to Sunberg's Automotive and let them do a test drive with me and take the look at the car wheels and they found both front tires to be defective on the inside tire seperated and it cost me $52.74 total. and they told me to dismount the tires from the rims and send them back to tiresavinge.com and it not safe to drive the car with the deffective tires. so i would like to ship the tire back to them and get the new tires becuase of the Deffective tires i got right now. i also got the recieve from the shop and ill Faq it to them and let them take alook by themself.

so my question is, is there a possibility that i can get the new tire from them since i bough form them about 5 mount ago? and i just find out that the tires is deffective today.

so wht do u guy think and wht should i do because i dont wanna put deffective tire on my car becuase of unsafe issue?

Per the Falken web site, the 225's are to be run on a 8" rim as they offer no other options:

225/3020 85Y Rim size 8.0 - 0.0
255/3020 92Y Rim size 8.5 - 9.5

Very unusual to have 2 tires with manufacturing defects this day and age. Most problems that occur are due to damage while driving, and a 30 series tire with only a 2.5" sidewall height, damage occurs quickly.

If the recommended Falken dealer states it's not a manufacturing defect, not much else you can do, unless you take the tires to another Falken dealer.

225 is stretching on an 8.5 inch rim, and as sad as it is, its probably the issue of mismatched tires to rims that caused it because the load of the tire was not even as it was designed for.

I'd sell the front tires on Craigslist and then buy two new ones
