I like it on a few of the cars. Just something I doubt I would ever do to my own car.

[SandM]

holy gigantic rear additions to that red car!

[tnomud]

Just because people try it, doesn't make it correct. I worked for a tire manufacturer for 10+ years and those are improper fitments for wheel size and the tire IS NOT working properly. It might look cool, but the tires are not working as well as they should.

[collins]

Yeah just because it lifts a tire doesn't mean much. My old Civic would lift a rear tire going around a coldasak.

[Big Baller]

LOL....those cars wouldn't last 5 minutes with me banging them off the curbing. First time you hit the gators in 10a-b at Road Atlanta not only will it knock the body kit off it will probably bend those fragile little rims.

Not to mention at least in my experience taking a corner fast in a car with that much camber and stretched tires would be SCARY.

[tnomud]

VIP+Drifting+Negative camber trend = Big money for tire manufacturers. The profit is then turned into more markting dollars to promote the activites that destroy tires.

[collins]

I know right? I'd LOVE to see some of these cars try to make it around a track without crashing. of course, you're talking about them traveling at more than 10-15mph around corners... right? lol

Yep. The tire marketing world has aided in creating a sport that destroys tires that under normal conditions would last 20K miles.....in a matter of hours.

yea the black ls430, and the white gs400, those tires were made for bigger cars. and they do stretch very well. but its obvious its not as safe as a normal fitting tires.

If you treat them like a time trial tire you can get quite a few laps, but its got to be 1 warm up lap, 1 hot lap, and 1 cool down lap. Otherwise they cook themselves...on a Subaru anyway. Thats the only thing I've tried it with.
