gypsy punk Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 So I have some snow tiers that are 175/70r13 and I picked up some pansports that are 13x8 and I would be putting them in the rear if my 510 wagon and am trying to figure out if this would work or be stretched and if so how much does anyone know or have tried this??

Tristin Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yes that will be stretched. 205 is 8in so anything less than that will be stretched. You have a ton of sidewall with that 70 series so I wouldn't worry about it. Check out tyrestretch.com for images. Quote Link to comment

So it would be fine and wouldn't worry about any potential problems it is also a tier that had about one season of wear on it. Is it safe to stretch a used tire?? Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 A minimal amount of stretching wont hurt anything. Some people run quite a bit and never have any issues... Ive never seen a report where someone had a blowout or similar due to stretching. As long as youre not going to the far extreme of it, you will be fine. Aesthetically its not for everyone and crowd that normall does stretch has given the practice quite a bad name. But its really not that bad. Ive been doing it for years now and although I have had flats, none were caused by the stretch. A member was just in a pretty bad accident a couple months ago which totaled his vehicle. His heavily stretched tires were still fully mounted. Quote Link to comment

But is it okay to stretch a used tire or does it not make a difference Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 It wont make a difference really. If you have decent sidewalls, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment
