You know, the negative camber bit, I could tolerate. Though honestly, when your camber is so far out that I can notice it from half a mile away, you are taking it too far in my book.

The stretched tires are what kill me. In what universe can anyone say that having to stretch the sidewalls of a tire out so that they can reach the edges of a wheel that is quite a bit wider than said tire is a good idea? The very design of the tire is so that the edge can sit within the bead on the wheel, providing the seal necessary to maintain air pressure. The fact that someone has to effectively GLUE their tires onto the wheels to achieve the same seal would in my mind be the first indicator that you are ******* something up. And heaven help you if the glue breaks free. :shakes head:

Ok, Rant Over

You could always sniff the glue? :confused:

It'll help the driver forget the time his hellaflush tire glue came undone and he hellacrashed into a busload of children on the way back from the kitten adoption festival and they went over the edge of a canyon wall and fell to their helladoom. :mad::shakes head:

Thats sooooo illegal in cali at least, and also AZ. It just depends on how much a **** the cop wants to be.

Well what most people DONT do, which everyone should if you're gonna black out your tails, is at least swap over to an LED bulb. That helps a ton, but i agree, it sucks when you cant see cause of bad weather.

The only issue I have with this, is leaving it to the cops discretion as to what is considered Hellaflush. Yes, they have a "definition/guideline" to follow but this will be abused. I already know of one person that has been harassed by this new law and this person's car is about as "hellaflush" as my car... My car is not even close to hellaflush.

I didn't get into the whole hella-flush scene anyways. I hate restrictions though.

With half the tire off the ground, it cant do those thing, not to mention putting twice the stress on the inside sidewall (which is only designed to handle a certain weight limit) So, ill take 100% of a 175/80 over 30% of a 315 any day.

I'll take 100% 315 under cornering forces over most of a 175 that's half unloaded under cornering forces because of camber arcs and suspension compression.

(Although I know the amount of camber required to get 50% at a standstill will probably not result in 100% under cornering.)
