So I'm in the market for some new cheapo stretch tires...the obvious options are federal 595's and Nankang NS-2's but I ran into a tire that is apparently new on the market...The Ohtsu FP7000, it's an all season non-directional tire produced by Falken. Prices are right around the 2 forementioned tires but the non-directional pattern is a major upside, no more tire flipping to get the most out of a tire. I was curious if anyone has ran these stretched with issues. Here are a few pics from Google....the stretch is a 205.40.17 on a 18x8.

Well, it's this "you get what you pay for" thing.
Yes, they're cheap, yes they stretch good - but that's about it.
At high speed they make a lot of noise and vibrate more than average.
Not sure about that "all weather" too, they seem to be 100% summer tires.
Cheap ain't badass, badass ain't cheap.
