I'm a chick.. And I need help with tires.
Kon. Do you have closer pics of the 245 on a 10.5 rim??
Bwcuasw I have some 255/35/20's and the tire shop can't get them to stretch. They are sumitomo htr Z iii's.
If you can run 245's(like I've seen others do..) how van I not run 255's lol
I was told by gary that 265's will not work on the fronts.
I'm about out of options.
I'll post pics of her in a min.. Lol

Here is the rear. 245/35/20, Yokohama S-Drive on a 10.5" wide wheel.


And for a reference, so you can tell the difference in stretch, here is the front. 225/35/20, Toyo Extensa on a 9.5" wide wheel.

Ok. Thank you! I'm thinking that the sumitomo tires just aren't good for stretching...
Is it better to stretch a 255/35/20. Or 255/30/20
I think I'm going to try some falken fk452's. As I hear they stretch good.
Otherwise I'm giving up... Lol

hey hey hey...

I personally dont like to stretch 452s had bad experiance with them.
Currently I have general 235 fronts and sdrives 245 rear...
I do like s drives..
but pretty soon switchin it out the rear to generals too... save me a little bit of money and lasts longer.

I would go with the 255/35/20.
Stretching a 30 series tire is going to make it an extreme stretch and really flatten your sidewall. Plus, you don't need to stretch a 30 series tire unless you're running some very aggressive wheels and you're slammed to the ground. Which you are not.
Don't get Falkens to stretch. Having Falken 452's non-stretch is alright, but these tend to bubble if you stretch them.
I would recommend either Toyo Extensa (small stretch), General UHP (large stretch), or Yokohama S-Drive (true stretch).

What size generals would you recommend.?
I was looking to their 265/30/20 but I'm told 265 is too big.
Will 255/35 look ok/work? I know that their exclaim model is discontinued. So I'm not sure what rear tires I should run as I can't really find any 285/295's for the generals.
