Aren't they illegal anyways? I'm sure someone said once once before that if you have tyres stretching outside the wheelarch you can get done for them being dangerous the same as if they were bald.

Yes, any tyre sticking out further than the wheel arch, you will get pulled. The only slight chance of getting away with it is fitting mud flaps to the arches to clear the outside of the tyre wall.... but that would look s**te. Don't go Chavvy on us.

i belive the legal part of this is the top of the tyre can not go past the arch...

same as your exhaust.. it can not go past the furthest part of the rear of the car..

i dont know the boy personnally with the strech tyres on porsche rims but i know of him and people that sort of know him and he has alot of money behind him

Dont like it at all, but it looks as though the current fashion is stretched tyres and smooth body =[

I acquired this tyre at the weekend, its a little slick which i'm going to get fitted to the front left of my ST. Should work good on roundabouts. The size is 10/4.5-5:

I HATE THOSE STUPID ALLOYS. If i find that anyone on here has them on their I will instantly ban them. I actually nearly threw up the homemade lamb balti that Sarah made me... and believe me it was yummy... this is how much I hate those alloys.
