There not actually a specific type of tyre. Its when a thinner tyre is stretched across a wider wheel

They're not a show off thing.

It's done so you can have wider wheels, whilst keeping the tyre tread inside the arch, keeping it legal.

are they as safe as normal tyres?, ive heard lots of people of forums warning folk about them.

I do think they look awesome though:y:

i think they can be a little dangerous if over done and ur driving into huge pot holes, as theres no movment in the side wall ud probaly find the car slides more as theres no tire to roll if you see what i mean?

Stretch is basically tyres that arent the correct fitment for the rim, purely for euro look and sometimes very hard to get the tyre on, has to be kind of exploded onto the rim

Vtr rims you probablies could stretch tyres onto, could look quit good actually, as long as there is a groove for where the tyres ring sits onto it will be fine
