Stretched tires?

Hey guys, I currently have a nice set with 19x10 with a good stretch on the tire. But i had replaced them twice already, I am using Falken 415s

i really thought falken was good but not for stretching. I would not recommend it...

What do people here use for their aggressive stretched tire? I heard Nexen where good and Toyo T1 are also good.

A lot of people run federal tires, cheap & they stretch well.

That's weird cuz I heard falkens were good for stretching, at least the 452's anyway. How did they break?

Falkens suck.. The sidewall is really weak and is prone to bubbling. I run nexens. they stretch really well and I've never had a sidewall problem.

about 10k miles my car started to vibrate at 50 miles, so i had them re-balance my car and they found that the tires was defected so they went ahead and replaced it for me but i had to pay a fee. than on the new ones the same thing happens, where my car started to vibrate!!!! so i took my car to my friends shop and he pulled it out! the sidewall was really bad!!!! i dont know how to explain it through text but its horrible!!!

what model nexens do you use?

what model nexens do you use?
The N3000 I think is what they are called. I've ran about 3 different sets of them. They last alot longer than the first set of Falkens I ran. Nothing is gonna last long if you run alot of camber, but atleast the sidewalls dont bubble on the nexens like the falkens do

Stretch might be a fad today ... when I was a kid it meant you couldn't afford proper tires.

I wonder what the danger factor is subjecting the sidewall to the abnormal angles and strain they aren't designed for. If sidewalls are bubbling its usually heat build up causing the plys to separate.

Falkens are garbage for stretch.
Federal were decent but didn't last for shit.
Nexen were good for stretch and lasted ok.
Achilles actually stretched quite well and lasted decent.
Kumho were pretty good. I think they ran a little big if i remember correctly.
