my 205/45/17 on a 9 in front. Don't run a 40 series, the a 205/45 Falken 512 is just as small as a 205/40 of any other brand. the tire is just that small. Trust me.
Pros: small tire
Cons: run a 40 series

i agree, i run falken rt-615 on my mustang, they are ok in the rain. old pavement when wet proves to be a little tricky at times.
Pros: ok in the rain
Cons: tricky on wet pavement
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
they stretch great...theyre no 512s, but 512s are crappy tires other than to stretch with
Pros: stretch great
Cons: crappy tires
My RE50s were also loud at 16K. I replaced them with Falken Ziex RE 912s at 20k and they are very quiet.
Pros: very quiet
Cons: loud at 16k

Mine is super annoying between 20-30mph. Running Falken ze-512, for now. They have always been loud but now that they are cupped a bit, it is bad.
Cons: loud, cupped
Well Evan Tire of San Diego did a remarkable job. They'd installed a new left tie rod, 2 Falkine 912 tires and performed a wheel alignment. I took it for atest drive then hit the highway. I love the feel of the car now. Lowered cener of gravity, steering response is a bit more accurate with less body roll.
Pros: steering response more accurate
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I have 225/40/18 912's on my 18x8.5 and they stretch enough to clear my fenders. And I am pretty low. They are very quiet and are very good in the rain. I can take puddles at normal highway speeds and not even feel it. I have had them for about 10k miles and I have noticed little if any tire wear.
Pros: very quiet, good in rain
Cons: stretch enough
Mileage: 10000 km
i think it's possible to find smaller than 205/40 but not easily or cheaply.. i think you can get 195/45. however the falken 512 (which you can now only get from discount tire on ebay) is much smaller than most 205/40's. it's what i run on my mk3 and they are much smaller than the set they replaced.
Pros: smaller than most
Cons: not easily or cheaply
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: 512
I bought some Falken Ziex ZE-912s for my Magny Cours because I was hoping to sell my car and I needed something inexpensive. Turns out, they're a pretty good tire. The sidewall is too soft on them for something that claims high performance, but they do grip really well. The suck in the snow however, so I wouldn't depend on them for that (despite their all-season claim).
Pros: good grip, inexpensive
Cons: soft sidewall, bad in snow
Part number: ZE-912S
The tires are 205/40/16 Falken Azenis RT-615. The wheel adapters/spacers were purchased on here from Vtec-This-Vr, and are excellent quality. There is no rubbing and the car handles perfectly.
Pros: excellent quality, handles perfectly
Cons: no rubbing
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
