Stretched tires
 

What are some Pros and Cons of running stretched tires?

Pros... You can be herrafrush... And if I see you I will pray you hit a pothole.

Cons... Everything, less grip, less safe.

Pretty much. There are no pros to people with the correct number of chromosomes. It's all cons. It will handle worse, be unsafe, and broadcast loud and clear to everyone around you that you have no idea what you're doing when it comes to cars.

Wait- there is one "pro". It will allow you to put wheels that don't fit on the car as long as you run moronic levels of camber. So, if that's a plus, then you've got that going for you. I guess.

Yep. All show and no go. Doesn't make any sense to put them on a sports car if you expect to drive it like a sports car. If you like the look and don't mind the hit to the handling (ie, a show car), go for it.

:iagree:

Just realized this was in the Nismo thread...really??

Cons: It looks like absolute sh*t and people will make fun of it. :bowrofl:

stock there is a slight stretch on the factory advan tire sizes nissan chose for the nismo rims, and thats the most stretch i would ever go.

How much of a stretch are you talking about, and are you doing it for clearance issues?

One con is when hit a pot hole or something else, you can get a flat via loosing the bead on the tire, damage the tire, and also damage your rim, but that's for more extreme stuff like a 225/40 on a 10.5 inch rim.

Personally I like seeing a wide tire under a car with a nice side wall like a 305/30 :tup:

Make the car an extension of you, and your personality, and give zero sh!ts about what other poeple think, it's your ride.

Technically if stretching the right rubber it can be done safely..you will sacrifice some grip. Not all tires are stretch friendly due to stiff side walls...watch any formula D this year?

I think it is stupid/ugly looking. Don't be cheap. Remember you have to pay to play, so do it right or don't do it at all. You will get laughed at and a lot of non-ghetto people will think it is extremely ghetto looking, but different strokes for different folks.
