HELLAFLUSH GUYS!! Whats the best tires to stretch??

Im sure this has been asked many times but I cant seem to find a thread that narrows my choices haha,thought id ask here since im tired of searching the web/threads. I have looked everywhere and cannot decide on which tires to go with?

Thought id get your opinions

Most guys seem to be running

Generals
nitto nt 555
nankangs ns2

I will be stretching a 245/35/20 on a 10

Nankangs seem to be the cheapest at about $410 shipped

Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated!

I like how the Nankangs run small and a buddy of mine swears by them, but heard they tend to be really loud

Im fairly new to stretching tires so I need all the help possible. I just have not been able to find one thread that narrows down the best tire to use!

Please let me know what you guys are using them and which online store carries them for the best deal
