Tires that run "wide" federal?

Anyone know tires that run wide? Example falken 452s run skinny (a 225 is more like 215)

Also curious if anyone had a review on federal 595s?

Yes PSS run wide because they have a very square sidewall.

The PSS runs wider than most tires. Federals also run wide, from what I've heard.

From personal experience Federals run about 10mm wider.

I guess i have the same question. My fronts are Falken 235/35/19 now on oem m359 (9"). I have a good deal on dunlops but only available in 225 or 245 in the front. Im afraid 225 will be stretched look and 245 will be wide and rub. My Falkens do not rub.
