Consolidated Tire Stretch Thread!

[Kohinoor]

It would be nice for reference purposes to have a thread dedicated to tire stretch. Not fitment, offset, or anything else - just pure STRETCH!

Please post your wheel size, width, tire brand/model, and tire size.

I'll start this off with some posts from other threads:

Ok so I came across some used 19" tires..$70 for both installed and they had about 60% tread left on them...either way alls I need is the edge of the tires anyways.. :D so I picked them up to help the decision process.
So the first tires I will discuss are the Falken 451 in a 245/35/19..It seems like these tires run a lot smaller than the Dunlops in the exact same size...Boy I love the strech and they will give me the clearance I need to drop the car lower....here are some pics....
.



Now the second tire I will discuss are the BFG G-Force...in a 245/35/19...these tires seem to run bigger wider than the 451 by far and perhaps the same as the Dunlops if not a tad bit bigger..Tread pattern is cool but I also think that I would rather have a directional tread design than these..Just doesnt flow well with the style of car for some reason maybe its just me. I only have two pics because you can deff tell the difference and these wont be on my list..but I thought I would share the info anyway as these are sopposed to be really good wearing tires..but once again I only need the corners do to -camber..here is a pic..perhaps a 235/35/19 would do the trick....for size comparrison.


and here are a side by side comparrison on all three

I was going to by these brand new but I have a thing about mix matching tires but I can live with it for $70 for the pair installed. depending how long these rears last hopefully by the time my fronts wear out the rears will be ready as well...I have a feeling though that the rears will wear faster than the fronts anyways cuase of the - camber the fronts still look new.. Anyways once my fronts wear out as well I will be replacing all four tires with the Falkens 451's ..I really like the strech and I will be able to use my 20mm spacers up front with maxed out camber go lower front and back and should have no problems...I will be running either a 215/35/19 or a 225/35/19 up front and the rears well we all ready know a 245/35/19...hope this info is usefull to some of you..I know that people are allways wanting and wonder what tires to run how they look stretched and so on...
Comments are welcom as allways...
Do any other brands that you folks know about run the same size as the falkens 451's ? I was going to try the khumos, generals,federals and Nittos but thats a lot of $$ to find out what they look like and most places around here you have to order them and pay a restocking fee if you dont like them...so any info would be appreaciated...
