You say this, but have you ever been in a vehicle with stretched tyres?

Author: europug, Location: londonPosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 7:56 am ---- I have massive stretch on the rear im runnin 9j with 195 40 r 16 as long as u keep an eye on psi u wont have a problem all my mates with big bhp drift cars run big stretch so if thay can with stand it why wont road cars??
This is taken off a forim who rung big stretch so these guys no wot they are talkin about
Quote:
When lowering I have run much thinner tyres on 9js whilst drifting and never had any problems or (SAFETY ISSUES) as long as the tyre is kept fully inflated and not running silly camber, there is nothing unsafe or illegal for that matter the law only states that tyres should be fitted as side wall instructions and as most tyres these days dont have side wall fitting instructions, there isn't any legal issues a 195 tyre is 7.677 inchs wide (at the tread) not full width of tyre.
