Drifting, hellaflush, slammed, tire stretch blog/bash thread.

The real problem is this most & I say most of the people who will argue in favor of tire stretching are the ones doing the extreme stretch. Now with that said they normally have no understanding of why & what it's actually doing. Understanding the limits of anything not just a set of tires is lost to these guys & understanding the why is key. I don't go around hating on others cars, do what you want, set the car up in a way that you feel is right. Now on the other hand don't tell others they are wrong for not having the same. (Sofa this not directed towards you). To my knowledge in the drifting aspect underpowered cars tend to use stretched tires to assist in braking the car loose. Pro drivers rely more on traction so they just use really wide wheels to make up for the loss in contact patch. Why not just use a tire with a narrow sidewall & stiffer side section? After looking on numerous drifting sites I have seen this as to be the answer, they want the traction but still want the Appearance of the Hipari style. Note not all Pro drifters tire stretch. Hey man really though to each his own, I have no issues with you except that it seems as if you joined just argue.
