Ohhh right. Got it now. Well I didn't know that you can stretch those bloody things!

Wouldn't it affect it in anyway?

By the way I love that 2nd link you posted. Seen it before, not sure if you remember. :P

stretched tyres means less protection for the wheel as the wheel will stick out slightly from the tyre...
