HOW TO RUN STRETCHED TIRES?

[HANZO_187]

Damn, Yeah I'm not gonna lie I got a heavy foot at times an I enjoy the quick sharp turns and all. I might get a slight stretch or I might just keep it legit and run 16's or 17's tops.

I just gotta get rims bad, I wanna nail down a few cosmetic details before hitting the performance shelves and Micro Image Online is my first stop shop!

Btw 1.5 when are you guys doing another meet? It didn't see it till after that your guys meet was in the parking lot at Down Town Disney, which is awesome. I live pretty close to Disney.

I'm not saying that stretched tires are safe, but drifters drift with stretched tires all the time. I take corners hard with 205/40/17 tires on 17x8 rims. You just gotta maintain high psi (I run max psi, then again, I'll always run max psi for mpg purposes, regardless of stretched tires or not). The thing you have to look out for is pot holes and such, but I'll always look out for this regardless if I'm in my car or our stock (aside from Tokico Blues) Camry simply because I don't want to take a chance or messing up the alignment or bending a rim.
