Less squared tires out there...

M3Newbie88 · 12-21-2009, 08:24 PM

Hey guys.. its winter where I am and my summer rims are store away but I would like to get some advice before spring/summer comes back along..

I know alot of members are fustrated with our tire/rim fitments as I am. I am running 255 tires on my car for the summer but they rub.. can people list tires that are less square around the side walls which would help with decreasing rolling and fender work? I already did some fender work but not aggressively so when I lower my car this year I want to make sure it clears...

Please provide suggestions thanks..

I've found that Falkens have a less square shoulder

Yah I heard those are and they are a good option since the price vs. quality isn't bad.. I was supposed to get those but the stupid vendor at the time lied and I was stuck with no choice...

i use to have some falkens on my old slammed vw jetta, with 18 inch wheels and yea they are the best i have found that has the "stretched look" to them.

Falken FK452's and Toyo T1R's are the perfect tires to use for minimal clearance situations.
