I'm just asking, but isn't Falken a low-end tire manufacturer? Not in the same league with Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental, or Pirelli?

I use Seattle Wheel Service to mount my tires.

They have a small garage in Freemont. They have a Hunter road force machine. Peter, the one I call to make the appointment, always takes the wheels off by hand using a insulated socket..then, torques it manually. They will also recieve tires from shipment.
Most of the cars he service is high end and the prices are not bad.

They're cheap and have rounded sidewalls which make it easier to squeeze more aggressive offsets onto your car

Half the people on this forum run the 452's. If you dont plan on autocrossing with them you're fine.

yes, but it still rubs. I guess the tires I got are really wide for the size, and the sidewalls are really squared
