Stretched tires are bad. Not from an aesthetics standpoint, from a function and safety standpoint. The purpose of the tire is compromised by stretching it. At best, the car will handle worse. Worst case scenario, you'll hit a bump and that stretched tire will de-bead. At freeway speeds that could very easily cause fatalities. Want to make your car handle worse? Ok, it's not my car. Want to make the vehicle unsafe and potentially cause an accident? That's where the line is drawn. At least other rice fads like LED washer nozzles and undercar neon don't make the car unsafe.
