For those running Falken FK-452's
#16
I gotta beg to differ on this one. I do agree based on the reviews that they bubble easily (but many factors come in to play, but thats another topic) but definitely think they are a narrow fitting tire. I work at 1010tires and FK452's is probably one of our most popular seller (due to price) for summers, so I've seen literally thousands of these mounted. If you don't believe me, take a 20x10 wheel and get a 275/30R20 in a FK452 and 3 of any other brand and the Falken will be stretched the most. I've even seen a 275/30 Achilles on a 20x10.5 and is was less of a stretch compared to the Falken on the 10"... But anyways I could type for hours but wutever, already picked my tires

I was running 275/35/20 Falken ST115 on my 20x11s. Lasted a good close to 10k in mileage. I wanted to try a diff size the next time. I went with(if I remember correctly) 275/30/20 Achilles. Looks way less stretched than before. Those Achilles doo run wide too. I stuck with the same size as before in the front and I can tell a big difference. Also I rub in the front now on those big dips in the road. I'm not lowered yet either. I've been contemplating what tire sizes to get to be ok once lowered myself.

I'll prob end up trying 235/35s and the 255/30s if I'm on coils the next time around.

FK452's aren't great for stretching. You're better off with the Hankook V12's. Sidewalls on the ventus are much thicker and are great for stretching. I've ran the 452's and theyre jes ok. LOUD as hell!!! but you get what you pay for...

I had fk452's 225/30 on a 9.5 and 255/30 on a 10.5. I liked the look of it but two of them had a bubble and when a homey had a blow out from them on the freeway, I decided to take them off. I had a blast watching the workers take the tire off because of the stretch. Vegas roads are bad so I need tires that can handle being stretch. My next tires will be Hankook ventus, just need to find a place that sells them for good price.

So I Hankook Ventus V12 tires finally came in and I got them mounted on my rims that have been sitting in garage for the past half year I'm super pleased with how the stretch. Thought I would share some photos with you guys
