  • Long Distance Driving on Stretched Tires....

    I've had my car stanced with stretched tires for about 2 years now. Never drove it further than 100miles away from home.

    Wondering if any of you guys with super stretched tires made long distance trips on your cars. Im planning to driving more than a couple hundred miles one way and was a bit skeptical....

    Im running 225.35.19s front on 19x9.5s...

    The rear i feel safe.

      I've never been concerned about taking a longer trip +200 miles with my car. Plenty of have driven 1000+ mile journeys on their stretched tires. Have some friends who have driven from FL to NY and back, NY to GA, and the best one is my friend Ryan who drove from NY to GA then to TX, Cali, and up to Oregon with 205/40/18s on a 9 up front and 225/40/18s on 10s in the rear

      Just keep your tire pressures in check and you'll be fine

          I mean the only thing I would worry about is camber wear. But if u feel that uneasy about just throw on ya oem wheels U don't have your factory wheels?

            if you driven for 2 years with stretched tires y would u be scared to do more then a 100 mile trip? obviously you have driven more then 100 miles on them in that time, it's not a big difference if your doing it at one time or multiple times.

                  I drove to FL and back a few years ago from NJ on 215s stretched across 9s.

                  Not a single problem. I did keep a fullsize spare in the trunk just in case.

                  That was just me in the car and luggage.
