Stretched tire horror stories.....

[Lt. Dangle]

I'm glad to hear no issues with the tire stretching.

And I do like bosozuku, well I enjoy the milder side of things. I also enjoy Kyusha cars, which I guess could be mis-interpreted as that "mild style" of bosozuku that I like...but it's not. haha

I just cant stand the huge pipes, and massively ridiculous non-functional cars.

^ I run Nankang NSII's. No Issues here. A bunch of VIP guys run their 19" NSII as well, and I've nevr heard a bad rep.

Nankang nsII's, cheap, never had a problem, cant say I've ever heard antone else have a problem with them either!

I've noticed a couple of cars in the US run them aswell.

i'd say this applies to all Falkens. my wife had the entire shoulder (tire in two pieces) blow out on two new Falken st115s. Like most have said, the root cause was a leaking bead and low pressure.

I've seen instances of it happening a decent amount of 452s it seems but I can't recall any 512s doing it and I'm on my 2nd set of those now with zero issues

Falken 452s seem to have a tendency to have their sidewalls split but that's a specific tire defect. As everyone else in here said, tire pressure is key.

I found out patches don't stay on a stretched tire but I was being frugal Lol

[NegativeCamber]

some of you may be too young to remember this, but remember the neutrinos from the ninja turtles? they drove a flying bozo car. that dude with the hair has the same style as this character.

[hypercrush]

never any problems for me or all the drift cars i work on/ friends own. and boso style anything is awesome, i love the bikes myself

[o2_designs]

Never have had a problem.

My only worries is curbs and speedbumps...but thats not the tires fault..

[C.Raynes]

That 225 never actually seated... Just sayin.

stetched tires arent a problem...Ive ran 195 45's on 9.5's for years with out a single issue ever... never one single problem. I think in the like 6 years ive been into this stuff I saw one dude who blamed it on the stretch when in reality his car smashed a bump and shot his fender into the sidewall ripping it up.

[Kielan]

Do it... You won't.

[Oxer]

Dont make me slap you..

[Kielan]

You guys are trippin, Boso is absolutely awesome. Do I like the cars, not really but its an entire culture of devotion and I respect the fuck out of that.

Just like greasers in the US, its awesome and I wish I had gotten into it at a younger age but now I would just be a poser.

Oh I just **** the cars, the culture they have is amazing, if that's what I came across as, my bad.

100% with Sean on this one!

Kiss ass.

[benz88]

What would you consider "within reason"?

a tire that's contact patch is less then half the width of the rim haha.

that 225/12" combo is dumb. I'd do a 255 or 265 minimum


As for tire pressure.

my tires are rated at max35psi, thier at 55psi right now.
