coullstar 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Not the best place to ask but I wouldnt use Federals or Nankangs if Falkens are an option. Both of them are crap IMO. The Falken 452's I had on mine were ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted January 31, 2011 dont you want 205/45s? if you're stretching you dont want to lose any more profile than you have to do you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted January 31, 2011 205/40 nankangs on my 9" schmidts. Had no problems with grip but I don't go flying round corners had loads of trouble trying to find a decent brand in this size and wanted toyos but in the end settled for nankangs as they're soft and give a smooth stretch :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

__Andy__ 0 Posted January 31, 2011 falkens have a slight natural stretch already, as stupid as that sounds... ive run them on my d90's for over two years and found them v gd.. though i have a spare set of dunlop sp2000 in the exact same size which i must say i prefer although the stretch is ever so slightly differnt between the dunlops and falkens... the site your prob looking for in regards tpo pics of differnt stretch is wheelwhores.com im sure there is a stretch section on there. hth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peebee 0 Posted January 31, 2011 I've got dunlops that have sadly been discontinued but the falcons are definately the next choice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
