As for performance, so long as we are talking mild vs extreme stretching, its more about preference than simply better over worse.

A slight stretch will give the tread a more flat profile for more steering response, but can make the break away characteristics more abrupt. Essentially one second you will have grip, the next second you don't.

A pinched tire will have more progressive break away characteristics. Its more forgiving, but you loose a bit of steering response.
