Best Brands of Tire for stretch?

[nght&day]

I vote for the Nitto 555's since they are great tires, as far as stretching.. i will soon find out how well it goes

[riboflavin]

all falken's stretch pretty good but old models like 512, st115, 451, etc run a size small and new ones like 912, 452 run a size large.

Federal ss595's stretch really well too. I'm running them and I've seen alot of ppl in local running them as well.

Where's the best place to get falken tires online since tirerack doesn't carry them?

Anybody have experience with Michelin Pilot Sports? Thinking of running 225/40/18 on a 18x9.5 and 255/35/18 on a 18x10.5

A buddy of mine has 205/45/17 912's on his 9" wheel and it doesn't stretch as nice as that 512.

this is a 512, but i think its roughly the same idea...stretch wise

[WolFF]

anyone got a pic of falken 912's stretched,, ? say a 205 45 on a 9inch 17 ???

i diagree. I had a set of ZRi's. 250/40 on and 8.5. Looks good but was a pain in the ass to get stretched. i tried to get a 215/40 on a 9.5 and the shop could not for the life of them stretch it.

That's just my experience. But then I see that Sean has a 215/40 on a 10?? I think? So IDK. All I know is that the ZRi's have an extremely tough sidewall.

ZRis do have a stiff sidewall, but I've never had any issues with people mounting them.

Nitto NT555s.

Fuzion ZRis.

Pick your budget.

i have a set of 512s in my room i'm waitin to mount. So we'll see how they do. I have heard they wear out pretty fast, while the 912s last forever but I have heard that they dont look good stretched, but that's just from me roaming around forums haha
