Too bad you're wrong. The tire may feel sloppy, but it still provides more grip - which is why they do it in autocross/track. They actually wrote an article about this in Grassroots Motorsports and tested it, I'm too lazy to scan the article for this forum because no one actually gives a shit here - save for ten or twenty people and they already know. Tire stretching exists for fitting wheels that are too wide for your body setup, nothing else.

Hell, this is coming from someone with 235/40's on 9.5.

Guys, don't feed the trolls.
