    Trust me, I've searched for hours on hours for some proof that they are unsafe, and I came out empty handed.
    no

    Many shops won't install or perform many services. Why? Lawsuits that aren't their fault but will come back on them. Lots of tire shops won't mount/balance tires you didn't buy from them either. I guess buying tires off the internet is 'not safe'?

    The shop that sponsors my car will not install short shift kits. Why? Owners that think they are racecar drivers money shifting. Then coming back and blaming some sort of 'install issue' was the reason. It happened more than once so no more SSK installs.

    I don't really 'like' stretch tires as I perfer tracking my car. Ask Mike. If I find a wheel I REALLY want and it requires stretch... I will stretch a tire to hell and back if need be to get it mounted.
    thanks for the lesson in law professor. but it is you who is misinformed. it perfectly safe to buy correctly sized tires off the internet and have them installed by any qualified installer. i know of zero shops that wont install tires bought off the internet. its how i buy all my properly sized tires. i do know of LOTS of shops that wont install undersized tires due to lawsuits because its not fucking safe. but youre just stupid enough to sit here and argue that fact. if i tell you the sky is blue youll argue that fact too. if i gave a shit about any of you id google some heeter facts but in reality im hoping your pile your cars into a tree when a 185 stretched on a 9" rim blows and i wont have to read any of your annoying misinformation posts anymore. eat a stretched dick

    If you don't like stretched tires that's fine. But if you're trying to argue their performance on a DD street car save your breathe. There are thousands, probably millions of people running stretch and they aren't blowing tires and crashing their cars because of tire failure/mal-performance.

    Austin, there are probably thousands of those Civics and Cavaliers riding with the gel coat bodykits too. Doesn't make them not shitty, either.

    Thanks, I have another one just like it except natural interior.

    Austin, FYI. This is where I was coming from.

    The tires actually aren't undersized for the car, they are for the rims however.

    *cough*

    I don't even want to imagine how awful that thing drives with its broken suspension geometry like that.

    I missed the part where Mike said it is a track car.
