i honestly dont like the idea either, but like you said its your choice. i just think that its cruel and i could never do that to my dog. they were born with cute floppy ears for a reason :(
ive been on that road!! my dad was driving his truck and we were on our way to a campsite, but i love the mountain roads in california, beautiful scenery and one hell of a fall if you fuck up
i had a 225 45 17 on a 9" and it had an acceptable stretch. a damn strech where the sidewall is threatening to rip and there is still a 1/4 of an inch of rim left till you even reach the lip on the edge of the wheel is too much. it doesnt look that good and it is dangerous. but a 215 is as small...
