question about stretch tyres

[Shizzle]

yes but after them pictures i change the way the wheel sit making them not protrude also we are talking about them being legal not if an insurance company will payout they will try and not payout in any circumstance not just because i have banded steels so that is irrelevant.

The insurance company probably won't give a stuff about the banded wheels as long as you have declared them - it will be the incorrectly fitted tyres they will be interested in.

You seem far more interested in cosmetics than road worthiness.

Is this still going?

There is no proof of a tyre being any more unworthy stretched then not being there are  guidelines. A standard tyre is not  on the edge of safety there are tolerances meaning a little stretch is no more dangerous than an normal tyre being fitted.

Prove it!

Because from where I'm sitting that is just about the daftest thing I've read today.

Please don't waste any more of anybody's time with anecdotal crap. You've made a firm statement on the safety of tyres and their tolerance.

Back it up with some concrete evidence provided by tyre manufacturers (not your mates) and I'll believe you.

Until then, just give it a rest.

In English?

I'm guessing you're saying the tyre is no less roadworthy when stretched.... except you're outside manufacturer's guidelines... now why do you think they publish guidelines?

For bellends to ignore

[Shizzle]

To cover them in case something did go wrong but there are only few cases where a stretch tyre has burst you just hear about it more it's all hear say and guidelines this guidelines that there is no law it's not illegal to an extent of course.

[andy_k]

oh ffs - you keep making these sweeping statements with nothing to back it up.

You may as well say it's perfectly safe to make tyres out of cheese because nobody has been killed or involved in an accident in a car with tyres made of cheese

As I said earlier, find us some concrete evidence, real proof to back up anything you have said and then meaybe you'll stop sounding like a ten year old stamping his feet saying 'I want, I want, I want'!
