Personally, I'm not a fan of the stretched tire look.

Default That is perfectly acceptable. My only peeve is when people say...
"you are GOING to curb your wheel."

I've been stretching tires for 5+ years. All it takes is an extra ounce of attention not to curb a wheel.


I'll be seeing you guys soon Dave. =) Just need some free time on my end.

Default And on the reverse... its perfectly easy to curb a wheel even with wider tires.
They really don't provide rim any protection. Rubber tire vs. concrete curb... the curb always wins.

See you soon.

Default i never understood the stretching tires look, but it is definitely better to have some tire
protecting the wheel wouldnt you say? not just parking, but driving as well.

Default Completely agree.
My standard response: They arent "stretched rubbers", they are tires that are too small.
