an overstreched tape may record fine, but it may not restore or read very well. As a rule, it is a good idea to retension a tape before using it. After prolonged use of a tape at the beginning the tape will become tight on one end and loose on the other. Retensioning will correct this problem. Also like audio tapes (music) the more you use them the more they stretch, this can ruin the preformat on the tape.
