    for those of you who have blown the bead, do you have to go and get it re-stretched? Or just re-inflate it?

    Usually if the bead pops off a stretched tire your gonna need to re-stretch in on since most likely your gonna need some sort of tool for the bead to catch again. Just make sure you keep your psi in the 54ish

    youre really over thinking a stretch... if youre doing something too extreme, just take it to a tire shop. but if its mild and one bead broke off, just hook up an air hose, and pull up on the sidewall. you can also use a cheetah blaster if you have one nearby...

    I drove from Houston, TX to Fredricksburg, TX on 215/45 on a 17x9. That's about a 600 mile round trip. Also did some carving out in the hill country at high speeds, no problems at all. Just keep them aired up.

    I do about 100 miles a day 5x a week then drive about 2+ hrs to Boston on the weekends each way on 18x9.5's with 215/40's. Camber is maxed out with my BC's. But just found a bolt through my tire so I need 1 new tire or get 2 new 225/40's cuz I have 2 in the garage.

    I'm thinking about driving to the East Coast but I don't think my wheels/tires will make it lol. Furthest I've driven is like an hour and a half of a drive so 3 hours round trip on 18x10 +18 with 215/40/18 tires.
