Best Brands of Tire for stretch?

[Dusty Mauve]

federals

The stretch looks good, but they are wide as f...!

[BrianFlockaPenn]

I've stretched 195/45/16's on a 10 with falken 512's and Yokohama s-drives and they both look good

[Schultz28]

federals are the way to go. just make sure you order a size down from what you actually want. all federals run a size wider give or take.

225/45/17 yokohama vs 215/40/17 federal


215/40/17 federal ss595 on a 17x10 wheel



by they way the traction is awesome on these tires, especially for the price. i would say they are a comparable tire to the falken fk452 but better imo.

Bump...i have a similar question and need some advice.
Iam between these tires-
NANKANG AS 1 205/40/18 ($72)
LEXANI LX SEVEN 215/35/18 ($59)
NANKANG NS2 ($72)
...I've seen ns2's streatched on an 18x8.5 and it looks good. Would give me clearence needed and is a good looking streatch but wondered if anyone could help point me in the ring direction. From what I've gathered LEXANI is an NEXEN tire. I've read mixed reviews but for $59/each the seem pretty tempting.

Real question i guess is can anyone vouch how do nexens run in comparison to ns2's?
I've spent so much time searching thread upon thread.
Thanks in Advance fellas =)

Stretch XL tires?

Hey

Nankang NS 2 can be ordered as a XL tire, with reinforced tire walls(215/40 ZR18 89V XL). The wheel is 18 x 9,5.
Can you stretch these tires with xl walls, or are they getting to stiff?

I have tried searching alot on google, but with no luck...

Somebody?

Falkens...

[metalmonkey47]

I've got my Falken 512's stretched with good results.

Front is a 195/50 on an 8 inch wheel and the back is a 205/60 on an 8 inch wheel.
