@Vex, that's the point. There are no hard facts about it, there haven't been any studies to my knowledge that prove this one way or the other. I can only go by my experiences and stretching tires works for me.
When you say it doesn't work and quote joe_blow1 or joe_blow2 it doesn't make any difference how they THINK it should work. I've conceded that I believe there are some stretches that are probably too aggressive to be safe, but that doesn't mean that I believe all tire stretching is unsafe.
@RotorDad nice, on the SVE link. I'm not sure how but the tire looks stretched in the video. Clearly I am mistaken, it must be the design of the tire.
I totally get what you're saying about overstretching. I wouldn't personally do that because my spider sense tells me not to. But I do know the difference between knowing for a fact that it's unsafe and just having a feeling based on my understanding of physics that it doesn't look safe.
Broadly categorizing all tire stretching is the same as broadly categorizing anything, it just doesn't work to take an extreme and base your whole argument on it. Ignorance allows people to broadly categorize all Muslims as extremists because a small percentage do something stupid. It doesn't mean there aren't many hard working, intelligent, kind Muslims in the world... it means some people went off the deep end and now people have to make an assumption about everyone and everything that can be associated that they don't understand.
