I run 40 psi in my tires. Just watch pot holes "DA RIM KILLAZ". The most I drove was 600miles in 2 weeks then I took off my rims. I just did not want to get a bent rim. BIG BUCKS of the rims.

When I think of stretched tires, I picture a lowrider
This sort of set-up in NYC especially a vehicle that is daily driven is asking for problems. How does one with this set-up handle corners on the highway at 50mph? How do you counter bump steer with this dangerous set-up ??

I don't want to sound naive, and I think I know the answer...but
are "streched tires" a styling thing ? I'm picturing the tire sidewall bowing out to meet the inner lip of the wheel mating surface.
