Stretched tire horror stories.....

Tire Quality

Don't let the memes fool you. It's about the pressure and tire quality.

Here is a Kuhmo 215-35/18 on a 18x7.5" wheel with less than 10K miles that split on the highway at 70 MPH.

I won't be surprised if someone scraps this image and makes the meme, "Stretched Tires [insert joke thought to be clever but shows how people will laugh at anything]".

how long until tire manufacturers start making slant sidewall tires ? or cone shaped tires for alot of camber ???

Anyone got experience with 225/35/17s on 10x17s? I run these tires currently on 9.5s but I'm looking to perhaps getting a diff set of wheels so I can split my BBS and re-work them. I'm looking at staggered sets of 8.5s and 10s.

I too would go a 205/45, 195 is a bit too narrow and you will run into issues.

a 205 on a 10 stretch's nicely, if you need a 195 for clearance, id suggest different offset/narrower wheel.

you can, but the wheel will be egg shaped, i would suggest you use 205/45/15

im rather new to all this tire stretching thing and was wanting to know what your guys opinion was on stretching 195/55r15s on a 15x10 rim as a daily driver. so far ive seen no problem with stretching and of course common sense with maintaining good tire pressure. would i be in the clear running this tire everyday? and im sorry if this was such a noob question

hey daniel when did u become so mild man?

Hey Pascal, stfu, gtfo.

I have a mild stretch, not anything crazy. Never had problems. Hell, I took it around the Nürburgring Nordschleife last September, 11 times. And I didn't take it easy.

If that doesn't pop a tyre, nothing will.

Its popping off because the side wall is too small/stretched too far.

What type of car is it? The weight of the car is probably a big factor aswell. Only way to do it is to run a bigger sidewall. If you aren't willing to use the advice that has been given in this thread, Good luck to you, because every other forum would laugh at your problem.

its an is300. yea i guess imma have to go up to 40 sidewall next summer. thanks for the advice.

I had 165/40's on 8's and 7.5's only probem i had was the tyres going flat when I aired out (tyre got pulled off the rim when the wheels tucked in)

also ran 195/40 on a 9...no stress. just keep em pumped up! I run 40 in mine just to be safe

[hi its me alec]

I haven't had any problems either.. I have 225/35 on 19x9 and drive 60 miles daily in Minneapolis
