Watch this then tell me you still believe stretching tyres is safe -)

Excellent example!!! :eek: ALL the tire mfg's most certainly need to be believed and trusted when they state min and max rim widths that are SAFE for any particular tire size! |B Mount WHAT they SAY!!! NOT what one thinks!! :)
 
I don't like the stretched look in the slightest anyway. I saw a Mazda MX5 earlier this week with something like 185 on 9" rims. Looks stupid. Then add in the fact there was about 15 degrees negative camber on all four wheels - the car was riding about on the inner shoulders of each tyre. At 70mph !!!!!
 
It's hard to stop silly people who think they know better/more than the tyre makers and doing stupid things just so their car looks"fully sik"
 

While I'm not a fan of stretched tyre's blow outs can happen on the dyno with any tyre plenty of videos on YouTube.
