stretching a tire isn't good for anything. you don't want to stretch a tire period. ever. you just don't.
how many le mans cars, drag cars, autox cars, track cars, real drift cars have stretched tires? the answer should be 0 for a reason. so yeah, stretched tires on a huge rim are super sweet d00d.
I'm trying to cure this tire stretching epidemic that has been going around. anyone else care to help me stop it?

Drifting isnt my thing either but i can understand stretched tires.
le man cars dont run stretched tires because they have the budget for wideass R compound slicks. You cannot compare all out race tires to street tires. Some AutoX/track drivers i talked to stretches their tires mildly to prevent sidewall flex. As for drag cars, they run narrow wheels up front for weight issues if RWD, and wide in the back for traction. All motorsports set up their cars different.
