You haven't seen mine then... I've got a 10.5 +37 rear wheel running on 275.30 Falken FK452's.. It is extremely stretched with that particular tire.. My last set (Hankook V12's) were not nearly as stretched as these Falkens are.

Well for $400 I guess you can't complain... LOL

If you ever want that slammed VIP sedan look, buy Falkens.

I've heard they wear quick. But I've had them 3000 miles now and they look just as they did when I bought them. I do make sure do get regular alignments.

I had Falkens on my G35 coupe.

they were okay tires. I did get tire roar from them after awhile. I don't think I'll purchase Falkens again.

The handling is not as great as it was with the Hankooks, but the Falkens definatley ride smoother and softer with less road noise. They are supposed to last long too. I may switch back to Hankook again.
