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.

A racing tyre designed to be used a certain way is not what we are talking about here
