the 452s are loud.... REALLY loud. I've got them.
275/40/19 245/35/19 - I think that's my tire size...

You must have limited experience with high-performance summer tires. Wait 'til you try one of the many truly loud ones.

Yeah that's the first I've heard of them being loud too. I had them on my ride for a day in the summer and loved the silent operation. The only reason I took them off was because discount tire gave me a set that made my car drift to the right while I was driving.

We couldn't solve the problem no matter what happened ( rebalancing and expensive alignment etc)

So I had them take the Falkens off and replace them with the cheaper Nexens they first sold me which didn't cause the car to drift to the right

FYI the Nexens are moderately quiet but nowhere near the Falken 452's level.

K im still confused:

20x9, 20x10s

fronts: 245/35 or 30? to be even with the rear of 275/30s...

whats by best setup so it will be the same diameter...

275 rears for sure...its the fronts im trying to figure out..235? 245? 255? no stretch look either, not my thing..=)

Well the 275 on a 10 is still going to give you a slightly stretched look. so if the offset is not to bad and you want better protection on your rim get a 285/30 as for the front if you want a reg fit get a 255/30. a 245 is a proper fit for a 8.5. You can go on to most website and they will telll you. see

the 285 will be slightly taller but its fine because if you look at the stock setup the rear is also higher then the front.
