Its a good looking tire, but youd be better off with a size wider (if more common) 512 or ZRi IMO

They handle it well, but do have a chunkier look.

I bought them and thought they stretched well.

I put 225/35 on a 10 and it looked good

Here are my 16x7/16x8 RSs with my 195/40/16 tires (not yet mounted), I'm hoping for the best





Srsly though I did a bit of research and the tire seems to do just fine. Do it!

Bumping out of curiosity. How'd they turn out? I don't have much choice but to use them, but I'd like to see how they looked on the 7" anyways.

Not true.

I run the Falkens in 225/35/17 myself, bought last year. At least here in Germany they're readily available to order, along with Hankooks, Kumhos, Dunlops and the Yokohamas.

no idea on how they stretch, but as a tyre, they perform really well! (my Brabus came shipped with a set of S-drives)

[scaredofstance]

When people ask how well does a tire stretch. What exactly are we trying to find out?
I never understood this question. I know X size varies in actual width and shoulder size from brand to brand.
But what exactly makes one tire stretch better than another?
