I've noticed that, to this day, the people who make the most ignorant comments about this, are still the ones who have no experience with the subject. It's like going around telling people Pepsi is way better than Coke, without ever having tried Pepsi in your entire life. Are you then truly informed to make that kind of a judgement/statement? I love how it's like once a year I feel compelled to post personal anecdotes regarding the "safety" of stretched tires on any forum I'm a part of... since I've been there, done that, from running 245s on a 6.5" rim, to 225s on 11 inchers. <--edit: I meant to say I've visited both extremes of tire fitment

And in my opinion, in the event of a tire blowout, I would prefer it to happen on a stretched setup. When a stretched tire/wheel setup goes flat, the tire will actually remain on the rim (EVEN in cases of sidewall separation!), allowing you to still safely drive the car-albeit at a reduced speed, of course. Now, when your "normal" tire/wheel setup blows out, good luck maintaining any speed above 5mph (i.e. if you blow out on the fwy, hang on for dear life), and turning becomes almost impossible, as the tire will want to pop its beads and roll off the rim.

Of course, only someone who's experienced this in all sort of scenarios... non-stretched, stretched, super-stretched... front wheel, rear wheel... city streets at low speeds, fwy at high speeds... etc.. would be qualified to make this assessment, correct? Well, then there you have it. And it really is just common sense, too.. for folks who don't want to experience it themselves, but have an iota of intelligence and logic, here it is: a stretched tire has less propensity to roll off a rim once deflated, unlike a normal tire setup, thus usually being safer in the event of a blowout while driving. Easy as that. And if the naysayers don't believe me, I suggest you do what intelligent, inquisitive people would do, and experiment for yourself. It really is the only way to learn sometimes. (All it takes is a couple hundred bucks worth of tires, boards, nails, and a deserted area. It's worth it for the learning experience imo.)

Time to lurk for another year, till more people who don't know what they're talking about... start talking bout what they don't really know. >HAHA<

Edit 2: Or someone pls submit this "stretched tires are dangerous" myth to the Mythbusters... and pls make sure they contact me to be their 3rd party consultant...I neeeds to meet Kari Byron.
