Stretch Me!!

Recommended Posts

choosing new tyres to put on the Schmidts for when they come back from paint but i dunno which tyres to go for. thinking i should go for falcons again but has anyone got any pics of federals or nangkangs in a 205/40/16 on a 9" wheel ive been on tyrestretch.com or whatever it is and im sure there was another site that had a list of tyres and stretches but this aint it! anyone got any ideas or pics of there 16" stretch!!

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.

dont you want 205/45s? if you're stretching you dont want to lose any more profile than you have to do you?

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 :)

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.
