i was looking for tires last month..and went with the falken 452s and what a great tire..
ive had kumho, genrals, goodyear tires but the falkens are great i have put 4000miles and are show no wear at all. My car is lowered 2" so i used to tear throught the inside edges of tires all the time with 20" wheels. GREAT TIRES. now on the sizing it depends how wide and what offset the wheels are. I have 20x8.5 20x10 wheels and run 245 30 and 285 25 ...

Thanks for the reply, front ones are 20x8.5 and rear ones are 20x9.5... What would you recommend? and where can I get them for a really good price.

I'm running Yokohama S-drive 245/35/20 F & 285/30/20 R , and for a guy that came from PS2'S Michelin pilot sports i have to say I'm very pleased and impressed with the ride quality and handler. best of all the tire wear is unbelievable Good . Any bigger size and a drop on side wall might influence on damages due to rough roads ( pot holes )

i found a set of fk-452 for $620 bucks(285/35 R and 245/30 F), a little cheaper than the s-drive, so i guess im gonna go with them
thanks for the help guys.

I have same Brabus. You need 305/25 rear, and 245/35 front.
If you use lower 255/30 on front they will bend wheel lip. 245/35 will add enough sidewall height to protect wheel.

Lol actually im armenian, but i bought this with my own money, so 285/30 wont work for the rear? im going to get the 245/35 in front NOT 255/30, i just realized i typed it wrong, its going to be 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear.... Will i have problems with this set?
