What are the laws on running stretched tires if any? Cops are full of crap when they see something out of the norm

My 195s look awesome on my new 8J's. Stretching too far is exactly that... too far

I don't like stretched tyres
I don't like stretchmarks
I like stretch if it involves the female body

Its ok if you just gana stance and show off the car etc.but for high speeds its not recommended.as the tyre expands as the heat in the tyre increases. so dont drive 180kph with stetched tires.
There are lots many mor pros and cons about that.

I wanna get 7j 8j and run 165's and 185's. _________________  Daily: 2005 Corsa Lite Jason Clifton Photography
