Thread #4425
So I am ordering tires and decided to go with these. best bang for the buck. Anybody have any comments on these?
they are oversized from other tires esp the 451s. a 245/35/19 on a 10 = like no stretch. Just be sure to go smaller sizes and smaller profile for a nice stretch.
hmmmm so I am assuming 235/35 on 9.5 would be pretty mild. luckily i have the clearance for that in the rear. 225/35 in the front on a 8.5

I would suggest FK452 225/35/19 for a 9.5 and 215/35/19 for 8.5. I'm tempted to go down from 235/35/19 to 225/35/19 for my rear 9.5's for more stretch, but its not like I really need it. I like the FK452's much more than my older ST115's. They are much quieter. Here's the 235/35/19 FK452 on a 9.5.

(notice how it seems to be equivalent to the stretch of a 225/35/19 FK452) [img]http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/7/web/2107000-2107999/2107698_50_full.jpg[/img][img]http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/7/web/2107000-2107999/2107698_49_full.jpg[/img]
225/35/19 on a 9.5 with a fk452 is the way to go.
I like the pic posted is that a 235? if so that's the way I want to go, I am not a big fan of having my rims popping out like tittays!

Exactly why I am sad to see the ST115 go. :( I like the way it stretches. I am running 225/35/19 ST115 on 19x9.5 and it is a very aggressive stretch.

[QUOTE=Benji;59625]I edited my post above to show 235/35's on 9.5's in both FK452 and ST115.[/QUOTE] Thanks gives me a better idea of what my wheels will look like. Thanks- (arigatou) I like a mild stretch, some lip protection from rugged roads is good.
I ran 215/35/19 on 9 wide wheel and 225/35 on 10 wide wheel. [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/45/192259827_2abef1c607.jpg?v=0[/img] [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/118/278885639_c8ae038220.jpg?v=0[/img] stretched and from what i remember it had a minimal noise.
I myself love the look of the barrels popping out of the tire. To me it completes the look...nice stretch on those pics Benjia and HErb
