FS in OC: Never Driven on 215-35-19 Falken ST-115s

I bought these for my car and when I went to a local shop to put them on, one went on fine and the other kept leaking for some reason. 

We pulled the tires off and sure enough the bead  one of the tires is partially torn. Instead of trying to fix it, I said forget it and just went back to my old tires for now. These tires always seem to to bring me bad luck for some reason :sad:

Absolutely brand spankin' new otherwise!

$150 picked up in OC.

it could be the rim.. make sure there isn't any sharp edges on the inner lip of the barrel where the tire is stretched when mounting.     I've had good luck with these...sorry to hear you didn't...

Anyways I vouch for OCKlasse.   I'm going to be calling you soon for a detail!!

Thanks bro! I think it might be my rim....only ever happens with 115s, though. As much as I love them, they always bring me bad luck. Oh well.

Is this for 2? Aren't these the new 452s?...after having my front falkens flipped recently I vouched never, ever to run falkens again. GLWS sons!!! +1 for buying from seller. Real strait up solid guy!!!

nah ST-115 is nothing like the 452s   Pattern and design totally different.   I don't like 452 either but some have had good luck with them... but a good amount have had bad.

so are you selling 2 tires, one of which has a tear in the side wall?

Yes this is for two. One is brand new and fine. The other is brand new, but has a portion of the bead missing but not all the way through. The guy installing the tires says it should not cause air to leak though, and it's interesting because he would put sealer all the way around the edge of my rim and every time he would remount the tire, it would start leaking in a new place. He says he's mounted tires in much worse condition that seat properly. I was just so over it at that point.  

He showed me how for some reason my Club Lineas don't have an inner lip toward the face of the wheel and it doesn't allow for crazier stretching....

When I went to put my 452s back on, he showed me how bubbled they are. I don't think I've ever ran a set that haven't bubbled...

sucks.  shouldn't the shop be responsible for the damage?

:shrug:They (meaning every shop I've ever been to) never claim responsibility.

i would assume that if it was used, but yours were brand new.  it was obviously the installer's error.
