I mean how often do you hear about some horrible story where the cause of anything really dangerous happening to a car resulted from having stretched tires?

I guess just thinking that a tire is rated to hand a certain amount of stress, and stretching it, to me, sounds like you're pushing it beyond it's structural limit.

I've never heard of an accident occurring from stretched tires, but like I said above, just makes sense that the tire is weaker from stretching.

thats why you dont buy a brand new luxury car..you can build a UFC10/11 for cheap..its a Toyota its not built like shit...vip kits arent hide to find for cheap..wheel fitment is the key to the hole thing..alot of VIP rides are on Air Runner anyways..so parked they can be damn near touchin the ground..but as soon as the start the car they car will rise to a decent drivin level..atleast this is one method i have seen done in Japan when i was there.

Well I guess you should contact Falken and tell them all about it. Seeing as they "promote" stretching their tires. Hell they even have a tire targeted at people who stretch tires. They go so far as to claim their tires stretch the best (and it's actually true, they do).

So maybe it's not so "dangerous"

Static drop is the only drop that matters, unless full up on air is still tucking tire. Otherwise parking low and driving 4x4 is completely wack.
