I am not saying I don't believe you, or anything. Maybe its just the way this pic was taken. Can you take another picture from head on? So that it is clearly showing how stretched the tire is?

Thanks I'm actually really curious to see what it looks like from other angles, because a 9.5" wide rim with a 275 section Falkens was what I was thinking of getting myself for the back wheels.

true.. falken sidewall design has a stretch look..
so you should get 285 falken to make it looks 275 on other brand imho..

I still think that something is off with that pic. I've seen plenty of 275-section F452's mounted on 9.5-wides and never saw one look so stretched.
I AGREE. I HAD THE SAME BRAND AND SIZE ON A 10" WIDE RIM AND IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE THAT.

I will take this to a difference tire shop and see if they can do anything to fix it.

Take a couple of pics in more detail, please. I wanna see the stretch - maybe it just appears this bad on that one pic.

But yeah, a better wheel shop is definitely in order - a good shop would've noticed something off about this.
