    Why is this under "performance"? What part of tire stretching is about performance? Aside from the ultimate tensile strength of the tire itself?

    205/35/18??

    im running 215/35/18 on my 9.5 falken 452s up front and nankang ns2 in the rear,

    nankangs are cheap and stretch super good, problem with them is the de bead very easy.

    my bro just stretched same size on same rim size falken 453 and they fit nice!

    falken 912s are also good to stretch

    falken on top nankang on bottom

    I've always run falkens, and have 235 stretched on 10.5s, stretch really well. No issues with de heading in the 2+ years on stretched tires

    215/35/18 is a common size, and many manufacturers make it. Seems like whenever someone looks to stretch, they seem to make up a size in their head and try to find it lol.

    Falken stretch best. My nexens are good but they run wider than falken and the lip protector gets in the way a little. I'm actually really pleased with the wear and grip of my nexen N1000, much better than my falken 912
