    Paging : Strechers

    Yeap,

    you know who you are, sporting 8" fronts and 9" or 10"s on back, with some fender rollling.

    I just got a question fer ya.

    How does your STRECHED 16" x 8" fronts and rear 9" or 10"s feels / handles when compared to say, 17's 225 x 45 etc ?

    I asked before but no one actually had a hands on reply/experiance.

    Just wondering what the ride difference is, really.

    Thanks a bunch you Lip-a-lious you.

    BTW, I don't care if you call it Eurotrash or Cheech and Chong, I'm concern with ride characteristics., Capich

    I feel that my car handles better, but never had skinnier tires on the car. heck my stretch tires are 245´s rear.
    much more direct feeling to me, but the "racerzzzzzzzz" on here claim otherwise. uuuuhhhhmmmm jordo

        a lot of cars with widely staggered tires handle like shit unless you have enough power to actually need that savage of a rear tire. i've always felt my cars with stretched tires handles a bit better (provided tire width was consistant) but i've never had retarded stretch where i need tubes or anything, just like 205 on an 8 etc...
