Yup Falkens are, from what I've heard, narrow. I believe any Falken will do too. Doesn't have to be the 512s

Awesome, thanks!

Go with yokohama for 195/40 i pay 120 a piece for them. Hell of alot different than a 205/40 and gives you so much more room to play with and go lower (;

I've heard yokohamas are noisy and wear really fast?

Falken 512 205/40 is narrower than ANY other 195/40. They can be had for like $360 shipped on ebay and discount tire has tons of them.

That's what I thought, thanks Matt!

I'm gonna throw my Nexens on the new wheels and see how it goes, if they're not narrow enough I'll order a set of the Falkens. Thanks guys!

 

Josh, keep a look out on ebay. When I got mine I got them for $300 shipped from discount tire on ebay. The have sales all the time so keep an eye out because they already have a hella good deal.

-Matt

 

thanks for the heads up Matt!

 

Falken 512's. I have a set in my garage waiting for a certain set of ATS Type 10's to be done for the beater and FR12

 

As if you needed more confirmation.

Another vote for Falken 512s.

 

I ended up getting a set of for for $316 from Discount Tire Direct's website...they were slightly more on ebay

 

Ken, I hate you for having those ATS'...Hope you wear dem shoessss to FR'12.

Josh, I told you they'd have deals. They come out with one like once a week lol.

They probably won't be on the 2000 or any of the 3 Foci I own at FR12, probably gonna be rocking a different but better set then on that car

Falken512 compared to Nexen N5000 -- both are 205/40-17

HOLY BUCKETS MISS TASTY!!!!! Looks like someone asked the 512's if they wear thong underpants! [/end sex drive quotes]

 

They had a sale going when I ordered, but the difference was pennies

That is nuts.

 

Hollyyyyy sheet. I know what my next tires will be.

 

Holy crap... Wonder what the difference is to my tires I just bought.

 

A 205 512 is boxed/slightly stretched on a 7j wheel...

-Matt

 

^^so they're gonna look awesome on an 8j :evilgrin:



I'm debating ordering another set to have as backups in case Discount runs out before I need another set....

 

WOW thats a big difference, those are narrow. Falken 512 ftw.

 

They're definitely small 205/40/17s, but they still don't stretch much on 17x8s D:

 

Umm what? They're narrower and stretch more than any 195/40 on an 8j. Have you been talking to James or something??
This is 17x8 205/40....

-Matt

 

The 512 has the smallest possible belt package making it the most narrow tire in its size...downside is they're not going to make em anymore falken is going with the 612 which is a rebadgd 912...imo the tires are junk thy wear WAY to fast...but if its stance ur going for these are the tires for you...snatch em up while u can thy won't be around much longer. And the new 612 does have a wider steel belt package...tires is my job haha sell tons everyday

 

They wear too fast? They're not a 30,000+ mile tire but they aren't a 5,000 mile tire either.

$348 shipped plus $100 visa giftcard. **** me, it is ungody tough to not buy a set even though I have no use or space for a set for a long while

 

I don't blame you, the price for a set of 512s is fantastic haha.

The ebay link you posted is for 912s though, those might be sized differently. They're what my Focus used to have.

 

Oops. Well, looks like the 512s aren't part of it.

I've heard good things about Nankangs though. $201 shipped after the gift card? That's REALLY tempting

Damn! I might as well jump on these since the 512's are on back order. Ill see if my discount tire store can match the price with the $100 rebate
