The Best and Worst Tires for Stretching
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
If your not familiar with tire stretching, it means installing a tire on a wheel size that's larger than what's specified for the tire. This seems to be a pretty common trend in today's scene and we are here to inform you on what tires you should and should not stretch.

**Boring lame disclaimer we are obligated to tell you - most stretched applications are outside of the manufacturers recommended fitment range and may increase the chance of bead breakage. Stretch that perfect fitment with caution.**

This is the one topic very few channels talk about in depth but its most important, after all everyone is trying to stretch their fitment now a days while knowing little to nothing about the proper way to do it
I really like the Nitto Neo-Gen!!!! I went down 4 and they ride awesome and have a great treat pattern
forgot you guys were from appleton damn never realized how popular and how fast you guys were growing to be especially how much your guys business has been thrving, definitely have the best website for wheels and tires and plus you guys are bringing the community together more too by sharing our wheel and tire specs on what will fit on our cars. Big thanks to you guys Im sure you have made the car community a greater place by helping disperse more information to others. You guys should host an event for all your success and lets not forget how fucking nice your website is, congrats with all the progress you guys have made! :) :)

I've owned 3 of the tires on this list without having any idea they were good for stretching. They were just on sale xD (595, ZE912, Ecsta 4XII)
Stretched tires and slanty boy wheels you say? Love these guys more and more with every video. Man I miss the 512's, those tires stretched so wonderfully.
This is actually pretty interesting . Can't wait for the next ep

This video was very informative. Best tire for stretching is Ironman gen 2
This is how to work out what you can stretch to: Multiply the width of the wheel by 25.4, this will give you the measurement in Milimeters of how wide the tyre should be. Then just take an inch/inch and a half off. For example: 9j's 9x25.4=228.6. lets call it 225 for standard. I'd stretch to 195's at the most.

I dont like a lot of the current cosmetic mods but tire stretch is pretty aesthetic to me.
Good info took some notes 👍👍👍
running the 595s. 205/50 on 15x10 for a year. no problems.
nitto NT05 tires have a great look when stretched for anyone wondering, but you cannot mega stretch them, i had 205's on i believe a 9 inch wheel.
Hankook Ventus V12 evo2's stretch well too
Not something like a 195/50 on a 10 or 12 is a bit to much. But something like a 225/45 on a 9 is fine in my eyes. The former is ALOT of stretch, to the point of undrivability, but the latter is fine. Its a bit of stretch but not to much, and I have been able to do track and drift days with that kind of set up.
You guys should do a 2019 version of this video. Sick!!!

I was surprised kumho ecsta made the list. I ran ecsta tires stretched 255/35R18 on 10.5 wide wheel and the sidewalls had huge bubbles in them after 2 months. Now I run falken azenis same size tire. The side wall is thicker so I rub a little now but zero problems and it’s a cheap long lasting summer performance tire. Only downside is handling around corners is compromised a little do to the stretch.

Philip Koscica can attest to this, ran a 255/35 on an 11 and it never gave me an issue. Was also extremely easy to stretch, thought I’d have to use a cheetah to mount it but it just aired right up. I run a 265/35 federal 595 now and the sidewall is way beefier than the hankook’s
Daim I wish this would of came out a month ago😩 I wanted to run a 255 35 on a 19x11 but didn’t know what brand to go with. Ended up going with with some Lexani tires just because I found them for 95 each but to much road noise. Will definitely get the Nexens when I go thrue these. Thanks FI appreciate the insight !!

Currently running a toyo t-1r 195/45/15 on a 10” widened basset steel rim. Its for my golf 3, rims have an offset of -12 and there are no way they will fit under the arches so i guess i will have to widebody it😁. Other details about my bild is: - bigger turbo (runs at about 32 pounds of boost atm) - adjusted the diesel pump - big front mount -EBC rotors, yellowstuff pads and brand new calipers - TA coilovers with homemade camberbrachets -and a couple other visual mods😛 I am currently 17 years old and i will hopefullt get my license in about a year, hope to see the car finnished by then it has been a real blast up intill now atleast😅
