Do all Falkens run narrow?

[lambo]

So, do all Falkens tend to run narrow? For example, do Falken FK452's run narrow or is it just the 512 and 912's?

452s run narrow

Think that a 205/45 595 would be similar to this 205/45 S.drive on a 16x9?



Kind of a long shot but, does anyone have pictures of a 205/45 595 on a 16x9?

Here is some good references.

Not sure if you say my comparison of a falken 275 vs federal 255

^ Awesome! Looks like 595's are what I'll be going with!

Well if the picture above is to be taken into account, it'll be more like 225's :P

I have an odd time believing those are 205/45. They really look like 225/45 considering it's 9" wide, but yeah tires are funky sometimes.

The picture einstein posted? Or the one I did?

einstein posted a 255. I posted a, according to the owner of the car, 205/45 Yokohama S.drive (which are apparently pretty chunky tires) in the rear and 195/45 S.drive's in the front...

Yours. I think baby viv posted it a while ago first and I just thought he didn't know what he was talking about or something because it still looks too thick. My 615k's are that thick and that silver ls1 e30 project thread guy's 225/45 Falkens are about that thick too.

o.o

I don't think Falkens run narrow - right in the middle, if you ask me - at least the Azenis RT615Ks. My 205-40s on 7.25" wide wheels.

Yeah I kinda have doubts too... My friends is getting some 205/45 595's for his 9's so I'll see how they work out for him and go from there. I wish there were for 215/45 tires available... 225/45 has a little too much sidewall imo.

S drives do run wide. I put them on the back of the e60 and they rubbed like crazy. Returned them and went back to the falkens.
