I've ran many variations of stretched tires in the past and it's never given me ANY problems despite potholes and aggressive driving. Mind you that was in my VW/Audi days and although I can appreciate a nicely executed poke/stretch, it is not the look I would go for on an AMG, especially given the traction issues we have to deal with on properly sized tires. |

...OP, glad to see that you didn't encounter any issues with the ***** tires that were sold to you! Should be a reminder to everyone that whenever you're buying wheels that have tires mounted to check the INSIDE & outside of the tires to check their condition.

I had a bridgestone blow out out of nowhere and the inner sidewall/tread area was where it failed. Couple weeks later I found another splitting like in these pictures as well. I was done at that point and moved to the Michelin PSS's. Hankook and Bridgestone are on my never buy again list.

Depending on the intensity of the stretch, it can also improve on handling. When a car takes a hard fast turn the tire can actually roll, this can either cause lots of sidewall damage, or even pop the bead. With stretched tires the sidewall is tight enough to prevent roll thus keeping more tire on the road. Yes the camber and the stress over time will eventually kill the tire, but even with normal wear the tire will go eventually anyways.

Did stretching the tires on the short bus you rode make it handle as good as your 02 Civic?

Take the context of brain power of the individuals who do this. Not much functionality there I think....
Can't say I have even known anyone who has ever done this type. We are dealing with low brain power and honestly something that really doesn't or shouldn't apply to anyone with a MB, especially a AMG version. I think the intent of the op "1 YEAR AGO" is notable, but who does this. I think the issue of tires splitting vertically is a good subject to discuss, because it does happen for various reasons, but please different thread please........ |
I agree with you some cars are over doing the stretch look and it plays a huge hazard. There is a correct way to do this however and its been proven for years to last, some guys dont take into consideration that when you do run stretch tires you need to chexk your tires very often ( at least once a day) you also have to take weight of the car into consideration and make sure there is enough sidewall and thickness to support this.

So much misinformation in this thread it makes my head spin.
People, don't believe everything you read on the internet. |
Hella Flush it down the toilet.

Pretty incredible how misinformed MB owners are about stretching tires.

The amount of necro bumps on this forum are astonishing....

Let us not forget how much negative camber "helps us turn-in" also. :crazy:

Wheels are decent, but the tires need to be wider. Also, why are you posing with shoes?
P.S. You're in the wrong forum. |
