Dunlop don't like stretch...
"RIM WIDTH
Correct rim width ensures flex at the designed flex point in a tire sidewall for optimum tire performance.
If the rim is too wide, the flex point moves towards the rim area, causing heat buildup in the lower sidewall, which reduces tire life and could result in failure. Either too narrow or too wide of a rim can result in uneven tread/pavement contact pressure causing uneven wear and potentially reduced traction, or increased vulnerability to bead dis-lodgement. "

where are you seeing the angle starting though?
the seal on the bead is no different really
and the pressure in the tyre provides a huge force
the trouble with looking at a cross section is the lack of visibility of how the rest of the tyre is supporting the seal
what has the best lateral strength?
under inflated tyres are worse than stretched tyres but how many people check their pressures before every journey?

or "slate every car that isn't a car direct from the factory" haha
i think this looks awful....
....but i'd not say its badly modified.
"driven through an italian halfords" i think is what i'm supposed to say ha
people have said to me that i drove my car through the brabus factory and that they saw me coming..... even though all brabus parts are OEM
maybe people should do a bit of research first
be different and enjoy it
all this thread does is alienate a huge proportion of the community.

I'm not trying to start an argument fella, but I don't think you understand some of the points being made. i think this looks awful....

I don't like that car either, but it most definitely doesn't look like it's been driven through Halfords - Italian Halfords or otherwise. To look like it had been driven through Halfords, it would need to have a load of tacky flimsy badly fitted extras, and I can't see any of those?!?!
Badly designed? Maybe. Not too everyone's taste? Maybe. But doesnt look anything like a Halfords special.

to be fair that put me in mind of a Volvo P1800i think this looks awful....

Falken, who are the same company as Dunlop actually 'allow' for what would normally be considered a stretch on quite a few of their tyres. A 195/45/15 FK914 on an 8j wheel is within their tolerance range as is a 225/40/18 on a 9.5j wheel. Given that Falken have sponsored a fair amount of drifting over the years it's not a great surprise they're a little more flexible than some others."RIM WIDTH
