scarr F1's are sh!t for stretching as they have a very ridged tire wall and can pop off the wheel when cornering.

Oh...talk to about a good tyre that I could stretch? :undecided:

Defo not F1s, the side wall to hard? Shame...Avon zz3 came of it, they stretched. Falkens just don't get as good rating, hence, IMO why I was opting for a better tyre.

Any other brands you know that will stretch?

The guys at my local protyre got the bead blaster on it and smashed 120psi in the 225 and stretched it over the alloy...piece of cake. Finally got them fitted today...Soo pleased with the look...





I'll get some fitted to the car tomorrow. I'm just a touch embarrassed about the arch clearance  :embarrassed: Coilovers defo next on the shopping list   :laugh:

Spraying the centre caps black tomorrow as well  :grin:
