    i had Kumho Ecsta SPT. a set i had ran years prior and when i ran them before they were used and werent stretched. after that they sat outside for about 7 months getting rained in and enduring the Texas summer and some winter elements. i took them and mounted them on a 10 inch wide wheel after that and proceded to beat the crap out of them. even once losing control and driving over a cement drainage thing in the middle of the field. they never bubbled or gave me any type of problems. ive ran new tires that have had more problems. Never buy Accelera tires. i ran the Kumho's down to the cords and they never gave me any crap. id def buy them again

    by the way the tire size was a 235/35/19, it was a pretty decent stretch

    i had this issue with a set of falken 452's. they wernt even stretched (215/35 on a 8.5", sidewalls separated making it bubble. i've stayed away from falkens since then. the last tire i stretched was yokohama s-drives. surprisingly turned out alright.

    Yep, I know of atleast 3 other cars on them, no dramas, and we're talking rediculous stretch...

    Just picked up a fresh pair for my fronts, went from a 205/45 to a 195/45 to get some clearance for full lock... Wont make that much difference, but hell for $200 who cares!

    Yes, and no. Basically the car is stanced with a certain wheel setup, but can be changed at any point and time. And in comparison, my car is MILD. It's a car that I'm trying to make 400hp with, and streetrace in, but also stance, and handle decent. haha...

    So I have a few wheel and tire combos.

    The Rays for the stanced, just riding around deal.
    FD wheels with 23" M+H's for when shit gets serious.
    Stock wheels with Azenis.

    So it has it's moments I guess.
