Im looking to put a 235/30/20 on my 10.5 i ran exclaims before but no apparently nobody stocks them down here. Does anyone have any suggestions of tire brands that will stretch good? Thanks in advance!

If your rim is that wide get normal tires for it.

General Exclaim UHP tires are discontinued.

You can look at Yokohama S-Drives (what I'm currently stretching).

Dunno why you wanna stretch a 235/30 on 10.5 though. Are you running THAT aggressive of wheels?

235 on a 10.5!?! That is nuts. I am 275 and still stretching. You don't want to get a normal tire?

I wouldn't consider a 275 on a 10.5 stretching at all.

Brian, look into Levon (the Stimulator) old set up on Work T1s. He had a 10.5 up front with a 235/30 and a 235/35 on an 11 out back.

Also, General is kind of ****ed right now. They discontinued the UHP and have the replacement tire for the UHP has been MIA. All the tire companies I deal with are kinda being weird about generals now.

BUT, remember Generals run large, so if you get something like a hankook V12 you're actually going to want a 245/30 instead since they run true. The 245/30 with hankooks have been done on a 10.5 and stretch decently well. But I don't know if that's the clearance you need or not...

This is 245/30 on 10.5 V12



Hope that helps.

^^ agreed. and to the OP its your car broski make it the way you want. tho 235 on 10.5 ... i really wanna see that lol. Hellapoke. Falkens are known for easy stretching. hankooks are decent but id go with something a bit softer for the amount of stretch you are looking for.
