I am not to bash styles either, but when people start spending thousands of dollars to IMHO make their cars worst off and more unreliable, than I will start having problems...but to each their own I guess, at the end of the day its their cars and money...

Drifters, sure. Probably because they aren't producing much lateral load, cause they are already sliding. Sliding means there is no grip, also, they tend to use street tires to make the sliding easier. Usually tires like Neovas or RE-01Rs. But if you were to try to stick a turn, ie you want to grip it, there would be immense load on the tire, and yes, they can pop of the bead.
Touge: I dunno, cause most togue is in Japan, and they do like to slide in the japanese shows. But I doubt they stretch to that extreme level. Maybe a little. Like 245 on 9". not like 225 on 10

here is where this gets weird... my 225/45 on the 9.5, has as much tread width as a 245/45 potenza on a 8''. i have never seen a pro driver with a 215/40 on a 10 like this car above.
I agree that this is too much stretch for TV.

If he IS aware of the consequences of driving on tires stretched that much, then let him be. Let his own conscience- or potentially the law- take care of it. As long as he isn't hauling *** while endangering other drivers.

Boring and pointless. I never understood the allure of taking a car that can handle like its on rails with minimal effort and destroy it with stuff like that.
Not my money or my car, so whatever.
I run 255's with proper fitment. Herra functional.

Jeez, how much tire pressure do you have to run to keep those on the bead?
