Daily driving that thing ok so far? great, glad you haven't had anything serious happen, but it is only a matter of time til those seals break and blow a tire.
I don't mind the slammed look with lots of camber, it actually looks really good on a lot of cars. It's the 245 wide tire on the 12" wheel that just doesn't look right (or drive right for that matter). and yes, I have exaggerated the sizes... |
Again yes, uneducated. People have been daily driving with stretch tires for alot of years. It's just fairly new to these cars which is why i understand alot of people are again uneducated on stretched tires. People drift at 40+mph on more stretch than i have. I have Yet to see one case of someone's bead breaking and blowing a tire. Even if you could show me once case of that it still wouldn't mean much, i could show you handfuls of people blowing tires on regular "in-spec" sizes.
People are quick to say it's a hazard, but 90% of the people are just "guessing" that and only saying because of what other non-educated people are saying/telling them, and have no hard evidence that it is indeed such a hazard that it be so dangerous to drive on.
It's all good that peple don't like the look, i mean there's alot of styles that i shake my head at but i at least make a point to learn about what im talking about if im gonna criticize something to the point your calling someone "stupid". There are so many different style of modding out there and most of them i personally think are ugly, for instance frost's car, you couldn't pay me to drive that, yeah ok it's his wifes choice in whees, nice excuse, i would laugh at my gf if she tld me she wanted those, but w/e floats his boat right lol.If something is done right and clean i will say i wouldn't do it but also am open to all modding and if done right i do give prop's.
