Streched tyres are for flat peakers.

175 50 13s wont be stretched they will be flush. They are the best tyres to get though. If you want a little bit of stretch you will need some 155 60 13s. Good to see you getting away from gay balloon tyres

thanks for the comments. would you be able to put some pics up of erins wheels chriss would like to know what they look like. the 215's make it feel like its glued to the road though would it have less grip with the narrower tyres?

I'll convert when you can buy drag tyres in low profiles. Stretch tyre feinds are either into drifting, or own cars that don't have enough power to experience traction issues. You can build for show, or you can build for go. make your choice and stick with it.
How many rally guys run streched tyres Hayden?
