Tires Hankook or Toyo
The Nexens don't stretch worth a damn, the federals aren't much better. If you want the stretch and need it to work the Toyo T1-R is your best bet.
I have 245/45 18 Hankook Ventus S1 rated XL 100V. no problems Tire Rack.
nowadays, the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 can t be beat if price/performance/longevity have to be taken into account i can get 4x 245-40-17 for less than 400 bucks and they'll be at my door in a day from tirerack
I absolutely love my T1R's they stretch very well. here they are on a 9.5 and an 8.5"
I love my T1-R's. a 195 on a 7", the sidewall is completely flat and right in line with the edge of the wheel. they stretch very well on an 8"
Toyo T1R's on 8.5" rims. They stretched awesome. Ride nice and stiff as to be expected. So far they've been great.
That being said I've had Toyo tires a few times and I've been happy every time
I replaced mine with Hankook Ventus HRII's, which have performed quite well for the price (I got 18"s for about 110 each). Definitely more grip off the line than the OEM Michelin's and P6's (I've driven both).
those look decent I have hancook snow tires myself but a different model. They are loud, ride quality sucks, I can spin the tires without trying (not a good thing) and I can't turn hard with them but they are great in the snow which is all that matters
they stretch like doody. the lip protector is huge on them
