Can I just ask - what is the point? It's unsafe, likely voids your insurance and looks stupid - so why bother? :o

A stretch can help stop wheels rubbing the arches when running so low.. I can't see any other benefit. Maybe less tyre wall flex on a racetrack? Probably mostly for looks..

Might as well not bother putting any air in the tyres just for looks as well
