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 -------------------- |

Do you think 205's would stretch at all with 7 inch wide wheels? I'm hoping they won't be too much. I'll going to be running 205/50/16 on my GT4 wheels because they don't make the tires in 215/50/16. I could do a 45 sidewall, but that'd throw my mph off too much.
Nevermind, answered my own question. There are 25.4 millimeters in an inch so you take the width, 205mm, then divide that by 25.4, and get 8.08. That rounded too. Basically you just take the width of the tire, divide by 25.4, and you get the width in inches. (just for all of you who didn't know) This post has been edited by mkernz22: Feb 26, 2013 - 5:39 PM |
