Newish tires, problem all of a sudden

[Mr.PFloyd]

well i bought a set of fuzion zri tires for my brothers supra, and all of a sudden, i noticed tonight that it had a HUGE bulge in the passenger side rear tire... All the other tires are fine, its just this one has a huge bulge all of a sudden...
Now these tires were bought during december, and have only travelled maybe 5000 miles... is there some sort of warranty defect i can take for these tires? It seems rather odd 1 would all of a sudden would get a huge bulge in it.... Any suggestions?
PS, these tires are great, it just sucks this one has a huge bulge in it.
Sincerely,
Thomas D.

I had set of toyo proxe FZ4 tires all 4 start peeling tread together after 2500 miles got them replaced free and have 17k on them no problems, its wierd prolly a batch defect or something

That's why I stick with Falken. Price is great, excellent traction, good mileage, and I've never had any problems with them at all.

I had tread seperation on some Sumitomo tires before.

Fuzions are cheap
You got what you paid for
What is happening is that the belt structure inside the rubber casing has seperated.
Go back and demand a free replacement before it blows out.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Yup, they should replace it no problem, I would think.

Put on your spare!

+1 for Falken


But, like they said, put the spare on. Because chances are it WILL blowout shortly if you keep driving on it.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

we aren't driving it, its not a daily car.

 

[GrimJack]

Another +1 for Falken. The ones I am running now stick like glue. And the guys are right, take it back and complain, chances are they'll replace it for free.

My new set of Toyo's are great, fuzions are cheap tires, coopers right? Oddly enough a buddy had a set of falken seperate on him, I've also seen michelins, goodyear, yokohama, bridgestone, and some Nitto's do the same thing. Don't think your precious falkens are immune. Some times seperation can occur in low pro tires if they lose pressure and you don't notice it, I check my tire pressure weekly and I think it helps.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

alright thanks for the input guys. And Wills is right here, i had a set of Azenis' that split on me under normal conditions and proper tire pressure... I work at a gas station so whatever car i take there ends up getting fully checked out while im on break, so it was quite the shock when it happened!

Any product that is abused and/or misused can have a failure. I wouldn't run Fuzion tires even if they were free.
