  • What is the current go-to tire for stretch now?!

    Now that Falken 512s and Nankang Ns-II aren't obtainable anymore, what is the go-to tire for stretching? I've done a lot of searching and most results are outdated, everyone recommending 512s etc. I'm looking for something similar, that runs narrow. I have looked around and can't seem to find a narrow tire that stretches well and isn't known for bubbling the sidewall. I'm wanting an aggressive stretch 215/35/18 on a 10"

    Thank you

    I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but Neo Gens stretch well.

        I had good success with Neo-Gens in the rain. This was a few years ago though. Not sure if the compound or tread pattern has changed.

        I had good success stretching Achilles ATR Sports. Seemed like a good over all tire too for the price.

          They're not bad. I'd give 'em a B. Keep in mind, however, that 205-width tires on a 136HP, 4000 lb vehicle isn't exactly pushing the limits of traction.

            I'd be running 205/50s on 16x8 squared on a ~2500 pound e30.
