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?

So I just got my 205/40/17 Nankang NS1 installed onto my 17x8 RPF1 and it looks nice but the road noise. It's not the best but it's tolerable. Once you hit around 20mph. You start hearing the noise. It's loud enough to notice it but if you have a loud exhaust. You won't hear it. Lol.

BTW! If you live in the Cen Cali area. I recommend avoiding Superior Tires and Suspensions. I got my tires mounts and balanced there for $27.85 after tax. That's cheap for all four....the downside is that you get what you paid for. I found some fresh chips in the inside of the rim and a couple behind the rim lip.....I'd recommend this place for just getting cheap stuff done like your moms camry with the stock steelies but if you have some rims you love....go somewhere else.
