Falken ZE522 stretch
Anyone stretched a Falken ZE522?
can get for a killer price, but need to know they stretch well before pulling the trigger on them.
thanks

ZE522 failure that happened on the VR:
Both front tyres within a week. I rest my case.

I need to run stretch and all i want to know is if the Falkens stretch well.
Anyone else?
Yeah the 912 stretches nicely, but need to know if the 522's also do.katotter wrote:My dad had Falken Ziex on his bimmer, not much stretch but the mech said they stretch lekker.

What could be different? My 2233's stretch nicely, although not a lot either.
All my info aint helping you cause.

Re: Falken ZE522 stretch
not all tyres are the same, some run narrower then others as well as sidewall stiffness, like the 512's were known to run narrow and thus stretch nicely with the sidewall design.katotter wrote:What could be different? My 2233's stretch nicely, although not a lot either.

I'm running 17x9J's
running 205/40R17 Pirelli P Zero Nero's currently
they work nicely but are outside of my price range currently. My front tyres are stuffed, so only looking for 2, rears are still good.
