The Falkens were difficult to seat, it took 120+ lbs air pressure before they popped and sealed on the OEM 10 spoke. I've heard that harder compound tires are more difficult to make pop on the SS wheel.

I have heard that some BFG's are difficult, but sharp edges inside the wheel do not help make the job easier also. You must lube both the wheel and the tire with some combo's.

I am running BFG G-Force KDW on my GN and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup on my STi. The BFG are great street tires. The Michelin's suck on the road, but are amazing when it comes to dry grip at optimal temp. 30mph turns become 85+mph turns.
