Would have to be carefull when ordering these especially if you have a speech impediment.

Been copying my dad for years now and often people think I'm nuts, I photograph all around the car before she goes in. It's paid off, had my car went in for aircon to be fixed and a mark and 6" hole in the paintwork appeared, I of course met resistance before having to show the "evidence" they caused the damage. Got my bumper resprayed.

My dad took his car to Mercedes to have his tyres changed and had two alloys damaged by balance weights being removed with a mallet and screw driver, it looked bad. They paid to have all his alloys reconditioned but he got fobbed off until he got infront of a manager with the pictures to hand.

Hope your not using hellfrauds! Trusting them with your wheel alignment is like trusting a piranha fish with your finger

Hmmm this shouldn't happen to budget tyres these days, let alone mid tier tyres like Falken. Have you had your tracking done?

I had a similar experience with the ZIEX914 that were fitted to 2 of my cars, the previous line of ZIEX912 which the ZIEX914 replaced were better (The 912 were made in Japan, the 914 made in Thailand), having now replaced the ZIEX914 (and I replaced them at 3mm left on the front and 4.5mm left on the rears) with some Michelin Crossclimates all the noise and tramlining has disappeared and it's smoothed out the ride massively. I also seemed to get a large number of punctures with the ZIEX914 and had one tyre completely fail with a split in the side wall but that may have been caused by some debris on the road.

However this is a reasonable price for these tyres in this size as you're paying a budget price for a low end mid range tyre, they certainly are a much better option than cheap Chinese budget tyres.
