lol evey drift car i know n mine had neva had a blow out on stretch tyres . n thats 140kph at the front wheels with the rears doing a lot more with crazy sideward force

what unfamilia said times a billion!!! Having the outer sidewalls angled out like that means that the large flat surface that normally secures the tyres out beyond the bead won't work - If the tyre loses pressure, heck even on a massively hard corner with reasonable pressure, those tyres are just _begging_ to pop off the bead. To say nothing of the fact the sidewall and radial 'belts' are designed as a certain shape and distorting them like that will fatigue/stress them. AND the tread contact patch/downforce/spread will not be even across it's width.

This is without a doubt one of the most idiotic car related things I've seen on the internet. God help _anyone_ who has to share the roads with someone who does this.

To be fair, though, the ether 'deflagration' to pop the tyre onto the rim - believe it or not, that's actually not massively dangerous and is a reasonable way to seat a tyre on the beads if you are stranded in the outback or something (you'd have to inflate the tyre afterward as the rapid expansion of gas from combustion will of course cool/shrink/taper off, and it'll need more air in there to get it to desired pressure. This actually works out ok, because when far from civilisation, you might have a small pump on board which will inflate tyres, but has nowhere near the airflow to seat the tyre past the beads.

plus you also run the risk at high speed of the bead unseating off the rim... have seen it first hand and wouldnt recomend it... as if rev would use the deoderant method, unless he stole his mrs impulse... or his.

you do it in drifting to reduce sidewall flex, makes alot of differance when switching direction, i think you could still get defected for improper use of tyres??? if the cop has a brain

helps keep the car legal and you dont really want to flare your gaurds but still want to run those 7" oldskool kool wheels
in other words it helps to get the tread withing the gaurds so when the cop pulls you over he cant defect you

what is the point of having stretched tyres?? does it help in any way?????????????

Try to avoid the curry method, lots of clean up & it stinks.

thats now on my to do list now. just to try it for myself

gettin tyres on that are too small can be hard , most people use a beed blaster but if you dont have one then this way is a second choice

what is the point of it???
