As for the prices your getting quoted they sound retarded imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Its easy *** try this at your own peril****done it a few times on off roaders without an issues though, hard to put a tyre back on rim when your in middle of woods ha* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 cheers guys yeh they are 195/50's atleast i know hes trying to rip me off now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 60 quid all in for 4 wheels aint too bad. all the places around here are about 12 - 15 per wheel. make sure they give ya nice new valves aswell just so your gettin moneys worth and be shit to have to pay another pointless 15 quid to get a valve done. places usually give a bit of discount for 4 tires tho.

Dan507 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Stretch can stop gay tyre flex tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fattony Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Stretch can stop gay tyre flex thoright upto when your tyre shots off the rim on a tight corner or roundabout!!stretching tyres...... it looks cool, but....... i'd much prefer to know when i throw in for that next tight right hander my tyres will still be firmly attached to my alloys!just my 2 pence there!! if you like it go for it!!! and price wise i'd say that was about right!!

TBDevelopments Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 some wall flex is a good thing mate. it needs to be able to move around slightly over being rock solid because its already overly stretched. This is why manufactures don't recommend running widths over or under certain sizes as it effects the way the wall reacts and compromises its performanceTimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I run stretched tyres on my mx5, 8" and ET0.... abuse the crap out of them every corner and not to mention the private drift sessions i take part in .everyone has there opinion on stretched tyres, but something subtle like 195/50 or even 45 isnt going to pop off the rim or kill you somehow haha.stretching CAN go to far though.

MARC MOSS Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 195/50's on an 8 isn't really stretch bud, I'd say it's just under the limit of any safety issues, I just fitted some 195/40's on to a rare 8.5" set of volk wheels for a show car, they were a bitch to fit and I had to cheetah them on..There is no way I'd use these everyday but they looked wicked fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBDevelopments Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 am i just getting old but i never saw the appeal of the stretched tyre look TimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 this is a blast from the past! that cars long gone and i dont think il be going with any wild offset on my GT lolthe ride was bumpy on the stretched tyres... but what didnt help was having the coilovers on the hardest setting to stop the tyres scrubbing!
