Falkens and stretch is known that they have a happened off letting go under pressure, its happened to me and a few others, Personally I wouldnt run Falkens on stretched wheels for that reason.

Try n stay away from them mate

God knows why it happened, I think it was something to to with hitting a hole which just of damaged the tyre them later on went. I've never had a problem with falkens before on stretch. Just glad there was no damage!
