Well that's me convinced then....what a plankThere very safe and i worked with tyres for years
only had 1 blow out
when they use strecthed tyres then i guess it would be a valid point but try another pic as there isn't no stretched being teared up there that i can see,. they certainly don't look like they are running a set of these
suggesting the use of in a closed track controlled sport where ripping the tyres apart is considered a bonus is slightly different story to an 80 odd mph swerve on the motorway
done for looks that's all so leave it to the trailer queens
.
Whatever floats your boat - personally I think they look ****also, it looks great:
look carefully, the sidewalls of the rear orange ones and the goldy/silver one... defo some stretch there, has to be due to the shape of those arches an poke of those wheels!!!!
It's dangerous and that's all there is to it. If there was any performance benefit, we'd see rally cars, F1 cars running around the tracks doing it. The ONLY reason the drifters do it is because they want less grip, not more. Please tell me how that's a good thing on the public highway
as already said... tyres are not designed to be run on there sidewalls. less grip, more stress on the tyre and a risk of the tyre comming off.
You seem to compare the danger to driving at 80mph on the mway?? Yet the tyres are designed to run like that, and cope. (look at the speed rating on the tyre)
and im running 7.5j
tyres, brakes and suspension are the only thing keeping all of us out of ditches, upgrade by all means but improve.
Better as said to take your wheels to a show and change them there.
i was refering to 80mph more towards the people who was saying stretching tyres is illigal!! because if you was too have a crash at 80mph on motorway you insure would be void as well and i reakon your more likly too have a crash resulting in speeding than have a crash from the result of having 3cm less tread on the road...
no your wrong. 80mph wouldnt be seen as a reason not to pay out... but if my brakes failed because i fitted them wrong, or my tyres were fitted wrong and failed causing the accident they could get nasty.
with poor tread contact you can fall off the road at 30mph let alone 80mph.
80mph is very safe in a modern car in the right conditions. but less tread wont be safe at any speed compared to full grip.
look at how many people run them...how many threads on ANY forum do you see 'look at what happened too my stretch'...tbh ive only ever seen one and that was on extreme stretch!!! never scene one myself on 'scene38'
But of course everyone who dont like stretch tyres has a friend of a friend who's sisters boyfriends, friends uncle who once spoke to mario andretti who kinda knows a guy who knows a guy with stretch tyres that once had a blow out that was sooo bad the world stopped spining when it happened...
In comparison to the millions of properly mounted tyres in use, absolutely f*ck all, so saying "I've not heard of anyone having a problem" means nothing.look at how many people run them...how many threads on ANY forum do you see 'look at what happened too my stretch'
tbh ive only ever seen one and that was on extreme stretch!!!
