When sizing tyres, I think more about those mid corner 70mph moments when you haven't time or room to alter your line to avoid a pothole or stone in the path of a wheel. If common sense comes into it, anybody who fails an mot for incorrect tyre size should be done for dangerous driving! Stretching tyres beyond their intended limits is just as bad if not worse than cutting springs (IMO)
I think most people are taking about the 90° side wall because of some tire manufacturers have a slight stretch not the ridiculous stretched so you can see the inside of the wheel.
