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?

I'm running 205/50/16 Falken 912s on 16x6.5 rims. There's easily room for them to fit on 7 width. They actually look somewhat rounded on the 6.5 width. My friend has 205s on his 17x7 rims. They're continentals, but regardless it works. BTW, the 912s are actually really good tires for the price. They're sticky and very controllable for all season tires. They seem to be wearing very well too. They're really quiet. Even when you break them loose it takes a hard slide to get them to squeal... which can be nice. They draw less attention. They look good too. They're sporty looking for all season. They run pretty good in the wet too. Phenomenal wet grip compared to my Toyo proxies.
