whats that air stuff they shoot in to make the tyre stick to the wheel?

Less tyre roll with a stretched tyre = more predictable handling.Originally Posted by Teggers
Just buy thinner wheels if you can't afford tyres that fit
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
i don't know of any air stuff however think u are looking for a bead blaster dude. If the tyre needs to be riddiculously stretched, do the wd40 trick

I like stretch but the rims are too narrow to carry it off!

I want those wheels on a classic mini.
stretch tyres is causing 3rd world poverty dont you know
I can understand a little stretch which will reduce tyre wall flex but i just think that is too far and just doesnt look right or safe to me.

stretched tyres give a better contact patch to an extent, not sure when the stretch becomes so excessive that you actually lose contact though, maybe something to look into.
im a bif fan of stretch tyres but that vid of the 225 on a 12 looks sh!t
Furry muff. Didn't think of it that way. A little stretch, ok but not too mad with it!!Less tyre roll with a stretched tyre = more predictable handling.
And i was worried about streching a 225/40/18 onto a 18x10.5 wheel
That's awesome. I have wanted stretched r888's for ages but wasn't sure how easy they'd stretch as they are pretty thick walled.Take a look at these:
They're 165/50/15 on a 15x8 wheel! Specifically ordered by a customer, thought it might interest you chaps
