How stretch does Kumho compare to Falken 452

SO I had 255/30/20 with falken 452 and it wasn't stretch at all, so I had a minor rub on my car, so I was thinking to lower 1 size down to 245/30/20, but then I was browsing Kumho website and came across 245/35/20, does Kumho stretch more than Falken 452?

Honestly I prefer 235/35/20 for my 20x9,5 rims, but the company that make that size is only NItto 555, correct me if I'm wrong

So is there any opinions guys?

As far as looks go, I would just avoid Kumho for a VIPcar. They don't look VIP at all.

Yea I'm really thinking of just get the 235/35/20 for 20x9,5

What other company makes 235/35/20 instead of nitto?

Just drop down a size with the 452.

I had to go down a size on all 4 corners when I went from the 451 to the 452's

yea I still kinda like the 30 profile, so does the difference between 245 and 255 exactly 1 inch?

Seems like it for me! The tread for the 452s was waring kinda fast (sorry Kevin)
I had 225/35 & 235/35s on mine.
I would suggest a lower tire size!

Go Falken or go home.

Jk!

But anyways 452's are nice. I love ST115's though... awesome tires. Those are my pic for the look + performance.

ST115 = WIN

i have kumho spt's and they are alright. 195 on 8" rim looks pretty decent. I've seen the nitto tire made for negative camber (forgot which model) and it was starting to tear on the ribs b/c it was stretched pretty big.

falken's older tires were ridiculously UNDER-RATED!
we compared a 245/35 FK451 to a 225/35 FK452
and they are almost EXACTLY the side width(on the tire tread).

I had Kumho SPT's in a 235/35 and then i switched to a 452.
I think the 452's are slightly wider than them(SPT's).

i also went from a nitto 555 to a fk452(same exact size/profile)
and i ended up having to bang out my fenders some more because it
started to rub again, so that pretty much proves the 452's are quite
bigger than most compeititors.
