fuel wrote:tyre stretching didn't originate from Japan, the Germans have been doing it on the VWs long before the Japs did it. I think the reason the drifting guys do it is because it stiffens up the sidewalls a great deal.

Personally I like the stretched look, but it has to be pulled off well with decent tyres with nice looking sidewalls and a rim lip protector, as opposed to stretching a set of cheap tyres with bubble round sidewalls.

show me where F1 has taken tyres and stretched them beyond their design parameters and used them.
A racing tyre designed to be used a certain way is not what we are talking about here

Open your minds


I think it looks mean, you can fit wider rims / go lower / whatever.

Tyre will only come off bead if you're dumb enough to drive on it flat, yes it will come off sooner but not by much.

Rims will only get curbed if you're dumb enough to drive into a curb.

And yes it is safe, I have never had any issues and I drive like a $&#$%


In conclusion Mr Revhead you're a dick.
