It does. The most obvious thing is that they are designed for optimum handling as they are, not stretched, plus sidewalls are crooked thus under pressure (at corners) they tend to have more movement and you have the increased risk of the tire failing
I see. What about positives, are there any?
This one had stretched tires and they blew.
less sidewall play when cornering
The contact patch will be negatively affected with stretched tyres thus increasing the chance of sudden loss of traction.
Excessive camber causes the tyre to ride on its corner massively reducing the contact patch rendering the car dangerous - this is the reason I am so against this type of car modification.
