Stretching tyres without (potentially) blowing yourself up

Recommended Posts

I know I will give it a go on my Bobcat tires, as some are hard for me to get up and normally have to put a chain in the middle of the tire to pull the sides out to seal, mind you the flame looks easier, but I history is not good with fire.

I think you made it look easier than they did.

 

I was impressed.

 

Thanks!  :D

 

It's actually not too hard, position the tyre in the middle of the rim with an equal amount of distance between the wall of the tyre and the bead on each side (I used short bricks under the tyre). Spray in a little starter fluid and leave a trail along the tyre wall, light it and stomp on it to suck the flame inside and it'll blow on!

 

I only stretched a 225/50-15 onto a 10 inch rim so not crazy stretch, but I've known this to work up to 195/50's on 10's as well!
