Tony Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 165mm width tyre on a 195mm width wheel At the moment this is legal, technically it could fail an MOT as incorrectly fitted but technically it's not if the tyre is sealed. We fitted these tyre to a "show car", customer supplied the tyres..... I'm not to happy about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazz33 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Should be banned full stop.!!!!! A.To save the stupid people having these fitted "Coz it looks cool" and " its a craze" They will end up in a very serious accident.IMHO. B.To help save others on the road who could end up on the wrong end of one of these "stupid idiots" If the car makers wanted these cars to look like this then they would of made them when new...I have no problems with people modifying there cars like this (some look really good) but please keep them to the custom shows or club days out/shows ( fit them when they get there ) .....should be illegal on the road for safteys sake.

liner33 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 If you arent happy about doing it then the answer is simple , its ridiculous i dont understand why people even think it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah I have to agree, if you feel so strongly about it then state you won't fit stretched tyres... how much work would you be turning away doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 A reasonable amount because other work goes alongside fitting the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Maybe you need to campaign to get them banned then?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think the law will address this soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 This gets discussed alot on some of the sites I mooch around on. There's no specific law against stretch besides some vague recommendations from the manufacturers which the police occasionally try to enforce as law. There was a bit of a saga on Driftworks when some lad with fairly mild stretch was hounded by the local fuzz. There's going to be a new test point for the MOT regarding dangerous modifications that's bound to capture a few of these scene kids.
