kinda interesting for those looking into stretching...

tyrestretch.com

meh...

thanks for the post

I wanna know how far you can stretch a tire before you lose all corner gripping capabilities, no tires were manufactured and engineered to perform in such a state. Don't get me wrong it looks sick.

in my case tho im not gonna autoX with these ones... just for DD...
with the suspension drop that ill have with these autoX'ing wont work...
I still got my old set that i bought last year so ill just raise suspension to "functional" spec and put on my old tires... and rip it

yeah i want to stretch like 165/45/15 over 8" wheels. looks so sick but doesn't look safe haha

lowering and raising your suspension everytime you want to auto X your car would become such a pain wouldn't it?

its not hard to do it would become a pain in the ass eventually though.

honestly anyone who sez lowering and raising you car is easy needsto give me pointers cause it takes forever im with a ruler making sure its all good it takes like a hour or more maybe im to picky tho

your to picky just count the threads eyeball it and giv'r

lifes to short

haha well i cant handle when it looks lower on one side then the other
plus its a type r i have to show some respect lol jk

Like cam said aren't you supposed to count the threads or the turns it takes to lower the rings... Buni don't know really... I always been on springs... Maybe more difficult than said

some stretch can actually be helpful, because it removes some of the sidewall flex, as in when you corner and the tire rolls under the rim, it can subtract the time it takes the tire to flex. all depends on your sidewall strength as well though

some stetch sure but not 195s on a 245 rim. what do you rock jhall?

he has 195 on a 8"
