Engine & coolingWheels & tiresElectrical system

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
