Drifting, hellaflush, slammed, tire stretch blog/bash thread.

I haven't had a tire fail due to the stretch before, only from going through the cords. I've had stretched tires blow out at 50+ mph while drifting and not have the wheel contact the pavement. In my experience blow outs on a drift car are more damaging to the paint/body and exhaust (from dragging) than the occupants of the car (other people on the road, spectators, confused chimpanzees at the zoo, insert situation here).
