[@billynguyen710]

@@observer.b_e_l_l_i_s very true. I remember binge watching “The truth behind…” series a few years back and enjoyed the educational and informative aspect of those and the other videos they produce. Plus everyone loves wheels.. even “non car enthusiast” understands why people are passionate about wheels, even when they have no desire to replace their stock wheels on their cars.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Appreciate the support man! It has definitely been a ride so far!!!🤘❤️

[@Wrong_Hand_Drive]

Just doesn’t happen. I’ve daily’d stretched tires for years. Hit 160+ on them, tracked them. Why do you think drift guys run them?

[@yashasan83]

@@Wrong_Hand_Drive seen it happen on a friends 350z and all he was doing is backing into a parking space, so yes it does happen

[@A_RON_3]

@@Wrong_Hand_Drive It really depends on the width of the wheels and the stretch, those drift guys don’t run crazy specs like stance guys, once you start almost seeing the barrel of the wheels than you know it’s gonna be a pita driving it let alone going 160 driving on a 205-215 on 10.5 or wider let alone people doing the sudani stretch. What specs where your wheels and tires??

[@Wrong_Hand_Drive]

@@yashasan83 It happens but it’s not an issue. Odds are that bead was defective or the tire wasn’t mounted properly

[@Wrong_Hand_Drive]

@@yashasan83 Also, if his air pressures got low, that could’ve caused it. Pressure has to be kept up on stretchy bois

I know stretched tires are a hugely polarizing topic but I for one really don't mind it, but I also like seeing big meaty tires as well - just depends on the build!

[@CDadd]

Listenning to a yt video and hearing a big name mention your exact current tires feels good

[@Anklepick125]

Not gonna lie, I was hopping this was a "what happened to stretched tires?" the trend...not products. I'm so ready to see more people using a tire that fits on their builds.

[@jrock3262]

Thank you! Always well presented. In Korea, although there are many tire companies still hard to find a good stretched tire at a good price. Nexen nfera Su1 is great but hard to find . So just got Hankook ventus S1 evo2 255/35e19 for 11j

Very informative Alex! Loved it! I must ask you though, WTF is that on the Top of your Head bruh??!!!😂🤣😂... OMG, you got me in tears bro!!! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it!!!😂😜

[@MartinsGarage97]

I will get hate. But having my friends complain about driving their cars after putting on stretchy Bois and static. I can't see why people like having no traction and a uncomfortable ride that makes you hate everything. Remember kids camber is good if you are tracking a car. And bags are the only way to go. Atleast you can drive it. I just know from personal experience you'll have a lot more fun with your ride if you can actually drive it

[@beandan2408]

Static or bust

[@leonewulfe5137]

Dont slam it on the ground or dial in so much camber that its running on the rim, and those problems go away. JMO

[@TommyBlazeHD]

Never was a fan of stretched tires. I prefer a functional track setup. Although, I’m running a tiny stretch on my front tires on 17x8.5” Volk TE37s, it’s technically not a stretch because the manufacturer approved that size wheel within the for that tire.

[@sopretty43vr]

what’s funny is you wouldn’t think your “meat” setup was chef’s kiss without your millimeter of a stretch lmao and it’s still a stretch idc if elon musk said it’s correct size

sounds like denial lmao

Pro Comp tires are the best truck tire. They always wear perfectly and they're tough as nails. They can literally take several nails without popping and I get 60k - 75k miles on a set if I rotate them. That's with a fair amount of towing on horrible roads.
