Re: How safe, or otherwise, are stretched tyres?

Sensible hat on, there's no hard and fast rule, it's down to the intended use, the front of a rwd car might be fine with 195 on a 9" wheel but I wouldn't do that on the back of a bus. Plus, the wheel on that car posted in the tyre manufacturing advisory looks like a prolapse. Stretch like that ...

Quick question on headlights
