I think UberSilver is referring to the tires unbeading, which, yes, can be dangerous.


HOWEVER, UberSilver, are you telling me that you don't speed, you don't look at your phone when you drive, you don't eat/drink when you drive, you don't talk to you passengers when you drive, you don't listen to the radio/music when you drive, etc, etc. All of those can and does contribute to driver distraction, thereby putting you and others at risk for getting into an accident, and possibly "you'll kill a friend and go to Jail/Prison for 10~12 on a manslaughter charge." I say this because you're argument was the fact that running stretched tires is dangerous, as are all of those actions I just listed.

Mostly true, but the police/DA will not charge you for talking and driving, but if they find you have altered your ride in an unsafe way, they would/could throw the book at you.

When I race motorcycles I know I can/will go down at some point. I wear proper PPE as to minimise my injuries, and so does the guy next to me.

On the street if one acts unsafe, others may suffer. Thats my point.

My main point, as was your, I believe, was it's "dangerous." I'd rather take a car with stretched tires driving next to me than some person talking on the phone as I've been almost his numerous times by a person either talking or texting on their phone while driving. I have yet to encounter a situation where a car with stretched tires almost hitting me solely due to the fact it has stretched tires.
