Tires Falken or NITTO

I ran Falkens on my old A4. They did everything I asked of them (wet, dry, power slides ), for not much money

Neo Gens are awesome when it comes to stretch.

I've always had luck with Neogen's and they tend to stretch really well.

I'm running 215/40-18 Nitto Neogen's on my 9.5" without a problem.

I actually also like the NT-05 for track days primarily for the price. They are about as good in the dry as the RE-11's, better than the PSS but tend to get a bit noisy on the highway at certain speeds once they start to wear down.

While 255/35/19 still worked just fine, I feel that 245/35/19 is the best set up on a 19x8.5 rims. the outer lip of the tires will protect the rims, as the 245 tires will not be stretched on 8.5 rims.

So the deal surprised me. I got 5 wheels and 2 with bent lip and 3 brand new 245 40 17 falken azenis pt722. So as I drove back stopped by Passaic county tire in psrerson Nj and got the tires dismounted and sold them the tires for $50.

I got falken tires made in Thailand on my tahoe and some tires mad in Czech Republic on my mini cooper.

Have you considered a 205-40-17 Falken 512? It's a crappy tire, but it stretches well.

No experience with the Yoko's, but i've had about 5 sets of 512's and they don't last long, even with a good alignment.
