tyre stretch how-to??

**Mrk_Mickey** · 23-12-2009, 10:21 PM

i've searched youtube and nobody really EXPLAINS how to stretch a tyre onto a wheel with aerosol cans etc. I've tried about four times tonight with lots of deodorant and it just burns and doesn't explode.

Does anyone know a site (i've searched google a bit too with no result) or can anyone tell me what I could be doing wrong?

Oh and I'm trying to stretch a Kumho KH11 205/45/16 onto my 16x9 wheel.

Maybe there is still a seal between the wheel and tyre that is blocking the flame from the spray and not allowing it to explode.
In this vid, the guy steps on the tyre to break the seal and allow the pop.

yeah watched that one...he didn't use much spray, and yet it still burst up. My tyre, whether we use a lot or a little, just burns out and doesn't move whatsoever. We've tried to press it down, kick it etc...there's just no 'bang'.

Might need to use a more flamable susbstance.

I can't see what he uses on teh vid but a quick web search suggests using brake cleaner or WD-40 or even hairspray.
