    That looks dangerous AF. Your tire will probably de bead and make you crash into someone while driving

    That's pretty stretched . How many blast from the cheetah tank did it take to seat the bead or did you get lucky

    Should be safe for regular street use, only drawback is uneven wear and less rim protection, overly stretched tires only blow out from harsh abuse like track time, drifting, etc.

    Are stretched tyres legal and safe

    Honestly, there isn't any difference in tire wear as long as they are inflated properly. If you knew the history of where this mod came from, you might give it a bit more respect.

    Very true about the origins of the stretched tires . I don't think you'll have a problem just watch out for big holes . As would any aftermarket rim and tire owner would do But more importantly where's those pics ..

    Thats a little much. I absolutely hate tire streatch but for some reason I can't wait to see mine on the truck. Took 80 psi and 5 min to set the bead
