Tires YOKOHAMA or Kumho
Ecsta LX Platnium...running them on my Golf on 18's, love them! quiet,and handle well
The cheapest tires I trust are Kumho.
i have 19x8's up front and 19x9.5's in the back, 215/35/19 yokohama s.drives all around. i've taken it up to about 135 mph so far and its super smooth.
The ride is very soft/smooth and quiet. Far superior in handling (obviously) and noise than the factory Michelin's were.
I've had 512s, 912s, and currently S. Drives. I couldn't tell you which ones stretch better but performance wise, the Falkens don't come close to the Yoks. My car is a summer daily and the S. Drives are great in dry and wet conditions. Good luck.
S-Drives are by far the stickier tire. Much much stickier than the bull**** Falken. I still would not have a problem running a Falken for the pure look of it. Never would I get it for any performance oriented reason.
im running s drives on my 17x8 momos, 205 40. the stretch is minimal but these tires stick very well for the street.
I can't speak for the stretch as I have them on my stock bugatti's but the S.Drives are an extremely nice tire (at least for regular street driving). Got them on a couple months ago and love them. Wet and dry performance has been outstanding.
205 45 16 has a little stretch on a 8" wheel. 195 has a lot of stretch. tires are kumho ecsta 712's BTW.
Some big diameter Yokohama tires are unbalanceable. My 3 times rebalanced Geolanders G-52 vibrate depending on road curvature, wind direction, ambient temperature etc. Simply crazy.
