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
