Same setup on same size wheel. Yokohama's stretched better than 452's hands down.
falken looks better then that es100 to me. ive also driven on both types of tires (3 sets of yok es100s and one set of 452s) and the grip especially in the rain with the es100 is some of the worst ive ever experienced.

452's run bigger than another tire in the same size. if you want a mean stretch, do not buy 452's.

Thank you that's what I've been saying all along. I believe Dunlop's also offer this size. We are also searching for these sizes for a set of wheels that we have.

yea i need these specific tire sizes cause i am going to be running a really aggressive offset and the rims are going to be made to these specs only.
I recommended to people (in the sc forum) when the 452 first came out to go one size smaller than they needed. They stretch VERY nicely.

A lot of people get caught up with stretch but its the rim offset, Camber and body mods that are very important.

How much camber are u willing to run? cutting, rolling or pulling fenders? are you going to be on air-ride? All major factors to think about

oh yeah..............FALKEN FTW!!

They may be, but tires.com stocks them still.
