Do you have to buy percific stretched tryes or do you just buy normal tyres and have them stretched on? As i would like some for my Rallye Steel Wheels which are 185/55/14

I think that you just buy normal tyres and can stretch them on, but i know that they are a lot more expensive

Yeah because they are narrower, like you get on classic cars, so not many places do them, meaning the price is hight than the cost of a normal tyre.

Yep, on alloy wheels you are ok but steel wheels.. getting thinner tires for steel wheels is hard job. I had my old BK Racing alloys with stretched tires, looked the beans!

Surley thats the opposite of stretching?? Wont that make em pretrude form the edge of the rim?? I'd have thought a steelie would be something like 155 wide??

Stretching is normally extra wide rims with normal sized tyres!
