I dont like the tire stretch method neither. Stretching a tire on a rim is just dumb, they have standard sizes for a reason. Having a style is one thing but when the style is dangerous it's different. It will also deminish the performance in the tire and the life of the tread will go down fast. Certain tire stretching for racing on a particular rim that is practiced on might be different, but a regular tire for every day driving nada.
