Well i was looking it up around google and stuff...and i've come up with the conclusion:

1. If your scrubbing, it can obviously prevent you scrubbing if your car is sverely lowered
2. It looks cool
3. Sidewall flex = non existant almost,
4. Contact patch is less then ideal = less grip = noo good for circuit track use
5. Good for drifting, where grip/traction has to be broken often

i thought if its not insanely stretched that the minimised wall flex is helpful?

Maybe thats only for drifting..
