No... your tires are way too small for the rim. You will lose the lock between the tire and the rim more if you continue to run it. I know the stretched look is nice, but is it worth it to deal with this happening regularly??? If you go a tire size smaller than recommended you should be fine... Just get some new tires and go 10mm less than suggested... |

I've never understood this tire stretching fad. If you stretch them won't it cause accelerated wear, possibly wear patterns unanticipated by the manufacturer and constantly be in more danger of rolling the wheel over the rubber during cornering?
