Once? Twice? Forty? It's a gambit at best.

I agree. The more things that are outside of design the higher the risk. I would agree risk goes up with tire stretching. In your opinion would you think that it is more dangerous to blow out a stretched tire than a blowout for any other reason? If so, why? Obviously this is a reference to driving within the laws of the road you're traveling on, not assuming some sweet jdm drift battle on the mountain with a bunch of morons trying to get youtube footage with thier friends in the car.

I didn't see a way to post it here that would be easy to read so I separated the fields using astrix..

Would you mind explaining what the "elongation at break" field means? It seems at a glance that it would mean that it can stretch 1-8x its length before breaking... that seems like a HUGE range.
