First I didn't know if this post should be in exterior styling forum or this one. So sorry to the mods if I chose the wrong one. Lol. Anyways. Rumors online is that the OHTSU FP7000 is suppose to replace the discontinued 512s? If so has anyone had any experience with them? How well do they handle for tire stretching and long is the tread wear? The OHTSU FP7000 is stupid cheap too so that's a reason why I want them because they're being stretched. Any suggestions? What brand would you recommend for tire stretching? What I have listed is what's been told to me that handles stretching well.
Falken: fk 452 ziex 912 Nankang: NS1 NS2 Ohtsu: FP7000 BTW I found a set of 4 205/40/17 OHTSU FP7000 for only $248 plus shipping which would cost me $287.08 only. Stupid cheap to me but don't know if they're ok or good? This post has been edited by ILoveMySilly97: Feb 22, 2013 - 1:40 PM -------------------- |

I've heard of Falken, never have heard of the other two though. Maybe some others have knowledge of the other brands.

Like I stated above the fp7000 is suppose to be the direct replacement for the discontinued falken 512s that a lot of street tuners use for stretching their tires. I hope they're good. I'm thinking about getting a set. Since it's only 300 for four 205/40/17.

Use this site as a guide: http://www.tyrestretch.com/ I'm running a 175/50/16 for my next setup on an 8" wide rim with a 0 offset.
