Among the AutoX'ers, common wisdom dictated just using the "correct" size of tire rather than going to one that is too wide for the wheel in search of extra grip. In reality, summer performance tires have quite stiff sidewalls, to the point of my lower profile all-seasons being noticeably more comfortable than my starspecs that had more sidewall.

People going for stretch aren't going for track speed or grip...It's a lifestyle and a car modification choice. You actually lose grip with those kinds of stretched tires. But having that tucked, cambered, stretched look is appealing to a wide audience in the car market. Sean's RX8 is a perfect example of a RX8 in the stanced scene. Same with InGhostColors.
