Apparently its not that safe - heard things about tyres slipping etc -
Also if your prone to the odd handbrake turn.... this is not the type of tyres u wanna have
Also very prone to air leakages, if not done right

well you boys are safe from me and my stretched tyres then as ill be nowhere near your pride and joy
what is it with this forum, anything that anybody does that goes against the grain is immediately laughed at or is told not to do it because they think it looks shite.... just because one person thinks its a bad idea or will look shite dosnt mean that everyone else has to jump on the band wagon...
i understand that stretched tyres CAN be unsafe, thats my choice to go ahead with it.... if you think that they stop spamming MY thread with useless shite
this isnt a dig at anyone in particular by the way
i love haters!

Dibs on your sound-system, after the cars written off :devil2:
im sure we will have utmost sympathies for you when your tyre pops off on a bend and puts you in a field...
nobody has once put down your "dub look" in fact i quite liked your old GX. but stretched tyres are just fail...
worse handling, unsafe, looks like a fat bird in a boob tube,
but yeah. im a hater... hater > upside down in a field
Ill prob be in the car with him ;-) lol
or dogging lol
Chris - dotn throw the dummys out of the pram, u no me an u slate each other all the time lol all in the joy of funage
In all fairness, safe or not, it does look fukin awsome!
Mate as I said I'm not having a dig in anyone in particular it's just in general that people always side with eachother when someone says something is shit.
Eddie the sound system would be going into my mk1 golf with the rusty bike on the roof lol. To be honest the sub coming through the rear seats would probably be my cause of death lol.
Lol Ross I'm not asking for sympathy at all. I know what can happen with stretched tyres and I'm taking the chance that it dosnt happen. My gti isn't the fasted in the world due to weight of audio and to be truthfully honest, i dont hammer around much as i did in the early stages. I need my license for work, if i lose it im fucked. I use the car at weekends and various nights during the week. It'll probably not see much use on the steels over the winter as the gti wheels will be back on.
I'm not wanting to initiate and argument. We all know the dangers of stretched tyres but to be honest driving in it's own is a danger.

- Ill be putting the lassas back on for victoria park on xmas morning ;-) lolIts the alloys that are 'sexy' not the fact the tyres are dangerously ill fitted. Some proper sized tyres and rolled arches would give much better 'sexiness' :yes:
