| I bought falken ziex 502 tires off of ebay. the belt snapped and i have had nothing but vibration since. i would assume that a broken steel belt in a tire is not a good thing, if tire failure was to occur; loss of vehicle control would be inevitable. i am in a car club and i asked about this, a club member informed me that falken ziex 502's are defective; that he onced owned them and had problems out of 2 tires. he mentioned how 502's were pulled from the market and 512's were introduced. i have not found any recalls or company information on this at all. i as well need to replace these faulty tires in weeks to come.*ak | |||
