Although as soon as the SORAT guy heard i had 225 on my 9.5 inch wide wheel he told me he would NOT warranty my tires if something happened.

I got them mounted at Advanced in Coquitlam.

ya i talked to him said that he could balance them. since thats all i need lol.

im not worried about warranty on tires, i bought them online from the states got them mounted loosely and had to do the rest.

That looks both stupid AND dangerous.

i honestly dont get the whole point, i think it does look stupid and unsafe

just get wider tires, more traction

glad sorat could help you. Those guys are awesome! the warrantee is understandable, as nice as the guy is, he needs to save his own ass at the end of the day

lol but when i went over there i was like "damn this is cheaper than the U.S" and the guy was like "yeah...FUCK the U.S!!!" lol

Stupid + Dangerous = Awesome.
Just look at drifting.

If we did everything by the book, and never deviated from the norm and what's "proper"; The Car scene would be very, very boring.

Mechanically unsafe cars are illegal on the street, much like drifing. I would question whether that much tire stretch is considered mechanically sound and therefore legal.

the point of stretching, from physics pov is to limit side wall flexing.

when side walls are normally | |, when tires are spun and push to them limits, the side walls will flex side to side like \ \ and / /

the point of stretching, from physics pov, is to minimize this flexing by forcing the side walls at each other like an arc / \ thus when pushing sideways, it flex.

as for drifters go, you want that minimized flexing, at the same time, you want traction.

weather it looks stupid or not is dependant on the person, overstretching is dangerous though as you are fighting the side wall wanting to push back in, while the air in the tire is trying to push the sidewall out to lock the bead. thats why u use the bead locker (though its not truly meant for it), its just a matter of time.

as for style goes, its the ultimate to limit the space between the fender and the tire/wheel using the natural arcing pattern when the suspension moves up and down. kicking out the camber to force limit even more gets a bit iffy.

this isnt anything new, the vdub guys have been stretching tires for a while now too.

I thought tires need sidewall flex to work?
