biff55 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 and another yoof joins the stretched tyre "scene" i'm sure your local alloy wheel refurb centre will be welcome of the extra business lol.......... ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 You just need a tyre that is narrower than what you have now. Looks pretty ridiculous though imo. I love the fact that mine are the opposite, alloys are nicely set it and there is a rim protector as well, built in to the tyre side wall. They saved me scraping my alloy on the roundabout when a van squeezed me against the inside and I brushed the curb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Not sure tyre stretch is legal anymore is it? Or is a certain amount still allowed? I know a few people that have had to fit proper tyres recently lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The rim protectors are just part of the standard tyres on the ST. They are Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2s: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
