    Well, it was less than 2k.

    tyre stretching at home is hard. My deodorant is just burning and not making the tyre blow up haha.

    I agree with Jarred.

    Most people online are using brake cleaner but some are using WD40 or hairspray.

    Deoderant will just evapourate too quickly i think.

    hahaha. nope.

    deoderant itself isn't flamable. it's the propellant (compressed hydrocarbon) that is.

    if you just spray it in there, it wont actually explode (combust) because the majority of the flammable gas has diffused into the surrounding air.

    if you're actually game, and whilst i dont condone any of this because it's quite dangerous...

    take the top off a deoderant can and attach it to a portable gas butane can. that will boom...

    Yeah I think I will have to try butane if nothing else has worked.

    But...I'm going to get a tyre shop to do it because I'm not game on wrecking these wheels. Anyone got a contact for around/in the west ryde area on a tyre fitter that will stretch?
