what places can stretch tires?

[andrewv.]

I am located just outside of bethlehem, pa. I dont mind driving a bit but I am looking for any good places that can stretch tires for me.

[renn]

if its not a hardcore stretch, any decent tire shop should be able to.

what size tire on what width rim?

[andrewv.]

I havent really gone around asking yet, I wasjust seeing if anyone knew off the top of their head. But Looking to put a 215/35 on a 8.5 and a 225/40 on a 10 possibly.

I dont know who can help you sorry. But good luck to a fellow helletown..er. Ok I live on the board of hellertown/bethlehem but it might as well be hellertown.

I would check AutoAddictions on 145 in Whitehall. I'm not sure if they will but that would probably be the best place to check that is close.

Why don't you put a proper size tire on your car? This stretched tire stuff is rather stupid. What happens when you lose control in the rain due to a non existing contact patch or just happen to get a blowout due to uneven tire wear. Your car is a sports car, its supposed to perform like one. Well minus the slow part.

if you are doing it right the tire size is the maximum that will fit in the fender anyway. its just the rims that are much wider. so you arent really losing any contact patch, you just have a better looking rim with a stiffer sidewall.

also, more contact patch is worse in the rain. think of a skimboard. heavier riders need bigger boards to stay on top of the water.

uneven tire wear comes from a bad alignment. you would have to be an idiot to let your tires wear down that far and have them blow out. it doesnt happen overnight.




btw where have you been the last 10 years?

x 2 plus it looks dumb

there is a place off lehigh st in front of the merchant square mall cant think of the name of the place but they would most likely do it

[Opi]

do it yourself, use a ratchet strap and some starting fluid

oh and btw streched tires is about as queer as it gets

no sidewall flex equals **** ride and crap traction
