stretching tires means putting a smaller width tire on a wider width wheel.

While this should seem like COMMON SENSE to everyone, apparently it is not.

I work at Costco Tire center and i actually get this question more than you think. I got into an argument with a lady on the phone for literally 20 mins about this same thing. She insisted we made a mistake and installed a 13in tire on her 14in rim. SMH
