So....I'm in the market for new tires, and they need to stretch

specs: 8 and 8.5

Tire Size will be 215/40/18

Tire options: Falken ZE512, Toyo Proxes 4, Nankang NS-II

from what I know, ZE512's run the smallest and stretch best, followed by Nankang and then the Toyos, however I've had 512s a couple times, and their loud and aren't the best performing tire. Either way, has anyone had experience with stretching Toyos or Nankangs?

P.S. yes I know 215 on an 8 and 8.5 is not a stretch, but finding 205s is tough, and they're like 2x more expensive

Nankang is just cheap ____ Wes. So i dunno about that.

Toyo's got a nice tread design but obviously the most money.

so... Toyo FTW!

^ but they stretch so nicely....haha, I'm still thinking of running Nankangs; people that I've talked to have said they're not that bad for the price, and are actually pretty quiet compared to Falken 512s.

I honestly can't decide on what tire to run, I guess it'll depend on the prices I get quoted and the stretch that each tire provides.

Options:
Nankang NS-II
Falken ZE512
Falken FK452
Toyo Proxes 4
