Best Brands of Tire for stretch?

[Tuck&Poke]

Falkens 512s/452s are known for running thin I thought?

512 are known for being thin, 452s are not

I posted in the other tire thread but didn't really get an answer.
Since 512s run small is it possible to put a 215/40/17 on a 17x9.75?
Tire shop is telling me they cant do it..?

This is a great thread. Lot's of good info. No idea why it isn't stickied.

On another note, anyone ever stretch Goodyear Eagle GT tires?

[Dusty Mauve]

I would say Nankang NS2, although they aint the best ones out there...

My 9,5x18" with 215/35-18 Nankang NS2

I want to see 195/45 Falken 912's on a 7,5x17", and 205/45 on a 8,5x17" rim

[Riskant]

Since tires in 19"doesn't go smaller then 215/35..

Which brand/type should I take for the nicest stretch on a 8,5j?

I'll be fitting 235/35 on a 10j in the back...

What U guys think about 205/40 R17 Nankang NS-II on a 7,5" wide rim? Any pictures? They run pretty small right?

[Tuck&Poke]

if you're looking for stretch that is the wrong tire size, or the wrong rim width depending on how you look at it. NS-II's are slightly on the thin side.

I just had Falken 452's 215/35 put on my 19x8.5 wheels and they stretched without any problems. And then the local tire shop who mounted/balanced them for me told me my tire was too small for the wheel. I told them that was what I wanted and it is called stretch. I was told it was dumb. *sigh* Small town Texas.

As for places to buy, I've always dealt with Performance Plus Tire out of Cali. They usually have the best prices and shipping is cheap. $19 shipping for a set of tires and it only takes 2 days to get from Cali to Texas.

Wow I should've read this thread before I got Falken 912 in 205/45 17 to stretch on a 17x8 today. It came out with a mild stretch compared to when I had Falken 512in 205/45 17, the stretch was perfect.
