Why Are Stretched Tires A Thing?!

Stretched tires started in the car world but why is it a thing in the truck scene? Is there even a purpose for stretching tires?

You should do a video/history lesson on why the truck community decided big wheels and low profile tire make sense on lifted 4x4s. What was the origin of that concept/trend?
Because people spend money on wheels and then forget they need tires and buy the cheapest thing that “fits”

Back in the 90's we didn't have to worry about this. We had companies like Mickey Thompson that made true wide tires. I had a set of Baja Belted 35 17.5 r15 on a Bart wheels 15×14 on a 1978 Chevrolet Blazer K5 with a 4in Rough Country lift. STANCE MONSTER
Low profile/streched tires on trucks is stupid and looks terrible
Sure there's a purpose.... It's done so you can easily destroy a wheel when you bump a curb.......
Stretched tires can unseat the bead in certain conditions. The heavier the vehicle, the easier that would be to do. I will run correct size for mine. I also like the tire to protect the wheel lip. Stretched tires tend to not do that either
I had my 26x14 my GMC for 3 years. Never had a problem.
Why low profile offroad tires? It completely takes away the purpose of having offroad tires.

On top of that, they put that garbage on lifted 4x4s
When i bought my z71 it had 295s on a 12 wide wheel. 2 days later i had 35x12.5s on it and it rides way smoother
I have a tiny bit of stretch on my miata because a very small amount of stretch improves turn in feel. I’m running a 205 width tire (7” give or take half an inch) on an 8” wide wheel
305/35/24 tire, 14”w rim on lvl’ed f150 still rubs but I went this route bc I’m a contractor and didn’t want to go 6” high as a daily. But I get way more in person likes than I ever thought I would. Also super funny to jump out right after someone spills their guts on how much they hate it(5%tint)

Stretched tires obviously exist solely to piss off your tire tech
Hey Custom Offsets i hope you are reading this. I'm really looking for Moto Metal 955 20x10's, i can't seem to find them anywhere on the internet. Is there any way you can add them to your online store? Are they discontinued? It's the only rim that got my attention so bad.
Only reason my daily is on legitimately stretched a/Ts was because I had someone slash my tires “people called him daddies money bandit “ purely cause I drove a truck on 20x12-54s and was running NT420Vs , and I found the 275s for $200 for the entire setup on fb , I hate it , the way it looks the way it rides and I smacked a curb day 3 of the tires and bent a wheel , HOWEVER, I’m building a drift project where the small tire and stretch sidewalls help with flex and making a fairly narrow track pad , thus reducing things like wheel and axle hop , giving me that JDM stance boi look and not stuffing a 305 under a drift build and having more tire than I can slide

I love my 20x12 on 33s
Nope no pros just cons. Lol
I personally stretch them because I like being leveled so it’s lower to the ground with a super wide stance. So I ran 33’s 12.50 on 24/14 and still have almost full turn. With 33-13.50 I would not be able to turn at all without lifting . That’s my reason.
Please 😫🙏🙏 do another "this or that" part 3 and maybe more please
The reason I have small profile tires is literally all performance reason. They aren’t stretched and have decent side wall still low profile there 12” wide tire on 10” wide wheels 32” tall tire on a 20” wheel there’s less side wall flex on turns there cheaper 1/3 the price of 35s M/T last longer much higher speed rating and very sticky for a drag racing but still good in rainy conditions better fuel economy quieter and still decent ride, And you would be surprised the places I can get with those street tires out in the desert. there toyo proxies on moto metals it’s no Princess it’s gets shit done one moment it’s drag racing the next it’s towing 8,000lbs
If you want a 22x14 with most tire sizes to not have “stretch” would be close to like 40”. That only requires 10” of lift... to get that a little more practical fury has that 33x14.50 which is better but still has stretch on a 14 wide. If there was an option for wider I would do use it but most tires don’t get close.

Its for hi speed handling
I have 235s on 10 wides.
Low Rider scene has always done this shit... 185/70R14 on a 8inch or even 10inch.. seen one blow a tire at freeway speeds.. massive destruction to fender and wheel.. due to after going flat.. only the wheel is left to roll..
all these trends originated from drift culture in japan. there's no denying it. those guys wanted to slide farther, faster, and harder, and to do that, you need less rubber on the ground. hence stretching, and same for cambered wheels on the drive axle.
Can I go 0.5 past spec?
hey fuller, you spoke about stretching tyres but recently I went to a local tyre shop and asked them to put a set of 305/70/16 on my stock colorado wheels, they advised me that because the stock wheels were so narrow it would cause the tyre to bend and cause excess wear to the middle of the tyre.... what's your take on this?

I think there is a benefit to stretched tires for a particular group. I have a 4” lift on my tahoe with -4” drop in the back. Ik I’m autistic so leave me alone. But I’m putting 24x14 Arkon wheels with 33x12.50r24 mud tires on them. If I were to put 33x14.50r24 fury tires on them I’d have unbearable rubbing issues where as with a 12.50 tire where its stretched, the impact of the tire on where ever it will rub will be much less than a 14.50. Ik I’ll still have rubbing but if you ain’t rubbin you ain’t thuggin. That’s just the reason I’m going to be running stretched tires.
