Not going to argue with you, it's pointless because you have shown time and time again how little you know about this topic and I don't care to defend stretching tires beyond my previous statement

Strecthing is not dangerous when done correctly. The Cyber Evo team won the GTA for numerous years on slightly stretched tires (look it up)

I get that but the point is that no one that I've battled on here was stretching for performance reason as the cyber evo team did.

these people are stretching for a stupid look, to clear fenders because they have terrible offset wheels and want to lower to where the car can't perform at all, or because they think a unsafe non performing sports car is cool.....but it's not.

I know plenty on the topic so let's just move along.

There is a line between slightly stretched and ridiculous wouldn't you agree? When you can see the barrel of the wheel I believe we have crossed that line.
