if you run excessive camber, dont touch fk452's. But hankook v12's, achilles atr sport, or the new general gmax's are good.

If i remember, the g-max's have a 480 utqg rating so they should practically last forever lol
Achilles have 400 utqg and are priced alot better than the g-max's, but not as "name brand"

I'm running 235/30/20 on an 8.5" front and had an Achilles ATR Sport bubble within 4k. They also run wider then the previous Falken 452's I had.

Oh OH I know I know *raise hand up*... Hankook, Cooper, Lexani, Bridgestone Potenza (depend the model) Nexen, and Nankang I have experience with all these tires.. They are great and nice stretch.. NO bubble on sidewall.. STAY AWAY THE FEDERAL TIRES.. They suck.. Fat sidewall, minimum stretch depend how wide the rims, and they get bubble on sidewall depend the condition and how u drive
