Default Stretch Experts: Falken 453 or Nankang tires on a 2IS. 215/35 9.5 225/35 10

Anyone have any experience with Falken 453. I heard 452 sidewall would bubble up only when stretched but never heard much about the 453. I'm trying to fit just a slight stretch of 215/35 on a 9.5. It's either Falken 453 or Nankang N-20 but I also heard nankangs can debead with aggressive setups. Too bad Federals SS595 aren't true to size so there's no 205/35 and Achilles and nexen don't make 215/35.

Also anyone have experience with accelera stretched. 225/35 on 10. I'm selling brand new accelera 225/35/19 and 235/35/19

Never ran ns-20 but I did run the NS-II 205/40 on a 9.5 for about 15k miles never had a problem with them. Currently running accelera with a minor stretch 215/35 on 9 and 235/35 on 10. Had them on for about 5k and no problems so far.

Ive had NS20's on a 9.5 wheel and they are pretty good and not a bad stretch. on a 10.5 wheel i would maybe say go wider but 9.5 is not to bad Only thing I didn't like was it wore WAY to fast with very mild camber
