Best Brands of Tire for stretch?

[BrownBag]

Can anyone recommend a tire size in 225/40/18 on 18x10? I dont want a narrow tire. I had a set of 512s lined up but after looking online. Thats too much stretch for me. Im looking a for a true 225/40 not wide or narrow.

Thanks

I love my Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT great traction

The achellis run pretty standard.
Stretched well for me.

I recently did some hunting down, and I am led to believe that the ATR series is being discontinued.

The 512's stretch awesome, they run pretty narrow.
I know some people are having trouble sourcing them though.
There is the Falken Ohtsu FP7000 which is known to be a replacement for the 512.
The tread is non directional though.

I am currently on a set of Accelera Alpha's stretched.
They stretched great, goo looking tread design, sidewall.
I've only put about 400 miles on them.
No defects, no bubbles, or anything of the sort so far.
After a few thousand we'll see if theres any bubbles.

How narrow are your Accelera Alphas?

[AZeratsky]

Super wide...

Thanks.. I'm just worried about sidewall bubbles and all that junk.

Federals run wide youll be cool

Super wide...

Federals run wide youll be cool

Looking for some feedback on Federals.. SS595s to be exact. I'm bagging my wrx and I want to run a 225/35 on 9.5. I'm worried about the durability of such a small sidewall.. Anyone have experience with this?

[Queef|Chief]

I personally run Falken 512 and from my understanding the 912's are about the same. Cheap and perfect if you go through tires quick

i'm looking at running the falken azenis pt-722... anybody have any feedback on those? these will be 245/40 for my 18x11

It's subjective. Everyone would tell you something else.

My favs are the T1R's but you should pick the one you like most.

[ramirez]

Ok so what brand from my list will be best

[h3llk1t3]

All of the tires you mentioned are solid choices.

215/40 on 16x9 aint too hard of a stretch either, could go 205/40 if you wanted a somewhat tougher stretch.

i think nankangs are okay. 215 35 18 on a 9. the stretch was decent. just remember to flip them more often. i think they might be a little softer than other tires

[Oh, Word?]

I ran nankang ns20 205-40 on 17x9 and I loved them. Their dirt cheap they stretch great and they ride pretty well. They do wear out pretty quick but for $60 a piece you really can't complain. I put 1200 pretty aggressive miles on them with -3 front and -4.5 rear and they were still basically new looking.
