Anybody know how stiff the sidewalls are on Dunlop Star Spec Z1s? Considering on slapping 235/40/18s on 10js.

hitman · 01-27-2009, 10:23 AM

thatll be easy on any tire
the z1s stretch easy too
i run 215 40 on 17x10 so im sure 235s will be no problem, they might not even be stretched its a decently wide tire

Flicktitty · 01-27-2009, 10:26 AM

I had a buddy that worked at a tire shop. They also had a cheeta there for stretched and hard to seat bead tires. I dont understand why they wouldnt do it, just get them to mount the tire on the rim, take it home do the ol starter fluid trick and take them back to balance.

BillWatcher · 03-14-2009, 02:38 PM

Some of you guys gotta look at the title of the thread..... 225/40 on a 10...... 215/45 on a 9.5.... I love you guys but damn.

Matej · 03-21-2009, 10:49 PM

Do any of you have experience with cheap Ebay tires, such as LingLong or Achilles?
I don't care about performance, I'm just curious how wide they run, and how they stretch.
They're tempting to buy, but I wouldn't want them to blow up in my face.
Who names their product after a guy known for having a flaw.

SlideAlliance · 03-21-2009, 11:04 PM

Wanli, Nexxen, Federal.

Cheap and good.

SoCal-s130 · 03-21-2009, 11:07 PM

Just picked up some Wanlis. I like how they stretch a lot. Nice tires.

Alright, thanks.

Although your fellow bro Travis said a 215/35 won't seat fully on an 18x10.

That looks like a skinny Nankang though. Hope he's wrong.

Maybe the tires are totally awesome until you find their heel.

Just found out that LingLong is actually a model made by Wanli, cool.

You read me like a glove.

If you are strapped for cash Barums are probably better than those chiney tires. Eastern Euro rubbers ftw.

wisDOMination · 03-27-2009, 02:20 AM

anyone have any experience in how kumho ecsta supras stretch?
compared to federal 595's

slow40sx · 03-27-2009, 08:46 AM

Falken Ziex ZE 512 stretch nice imo, although they aren't very good tires haha

He stretched a 451 on a ten. Then he put a 235/30 on a ten and it wasn't that much more seated than the falken's, but the contact patch was bigger and the tires were fucking awesome. Thats what I am waiting on right now

i had a 225/40/18 on a 18x9 with the star spec z1 there was barely or no stretch at all when i compared it to with a toyo t1r on the same wheels and same tire specs the toyo's had more of an noticable stretch compared to the z1's

drunkmunky · 03-29-2009, 05:48 PM

I have an ignorant question from a stretch noob. I want to fit a set of Hankook Venturi ZR1 S212's, 225/40/18's onto a set of 18x9.5. Now for the stretch part.. I know its not MUCH when compared to what you guys do but I'd like to inquire as to who I can go to install? Can I just go ANYWHERE and ask them to just install it whether it is stretched or not or is it only specific shops that do this, and have experience doing this?

Thanks
- Billy

gotta240 · 03-29-2009, 05:52 PM

Any decent tire shop will do that for you. Don't even mention it as being stretched. Just ask how much to mount a tire on an 18, and if the price is right bring it to them.

That most likely wont require any special equipment

IIIXziuR · 03-30-2009, 07:26 AM

Chinese tires all day bros

Nexxen, Wanli, Ling Long, Sunny, Nankang
