I'm not a tire expert, but I believe you can stretch just about any brand of tire in that size.

depends on the stretch, 275/35 on a 10.5 is a stretch but is not gay, 245 on a 10.5 is gay.

You mean is one brand better that another for stretching? Doubt it. Since stretching ruins the tire, get some cheap throwaways.

Damn tried to save the OP. Came too late. Knew posting in the main section would get flamed. Why did you want to stretch? Most guys stretch for aggressive/poke. Unless you want to throw some big spacers on stretching is not worth it on your setup unless you just personally like poke only.

You really should be posting here....https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...s-welcome.html

All that crazy stretching/offset/wide rim info is listed....Or check out www.rimtuck.com. Invest in some seats and a rollcage for when your tire fails and you go careening off the road.

falken/federal/khumo/dunlop are all pretty good for stretching...

federal are the cheapest/best stretch....but cheap.. i know for a fact that most 240 guys that run hella stretch tires run federal cause they run alot of sizes and are cheap..

i personally would go with falken or khumo...
