I'll give you that mounting them isn't the safest thing to do. But driving on them is not dangerous. I haven't heard of even one instance of a stretched tire breaking a bead or whatever. People do this all the time and have been for decades (bosozoku).

I will bet you there are more tire failures from under-inflation and other user errors than stretching.
