I know stretched tires are supposedly cool looking and are definitely very popular, but I just dislike them. Probably because I am a strictly grip guy, for now, when I finally decide to start drifting maybe my opinions may change. The main reason that people stretch the hell out of their tires for is super flush wheel fitment without flaring the hell out of their fenders. I just think they're dumb looking and I see no verified performance benefits. There's a lot of opinions on how they affect performance, but I have seen no real data or comparison tests. Besides I think that super wide tires look fuckin sick! Sicker than super flush wheels in my opinion.
