It's been a while since I edited a video, used this opportunity to break off some rust. Also new AE86 video coming soon, soon as in not next week.. probably late January or early February.. I hope.
Plus he’s doing single weights instead of dual. When I balance wheels that only need single weights, most of the time it come out to less than a gram or even no weights.
You were correct on mounting it upside down, that's called a reverse mount wheel. Also for best results have somebody hold the tire halfway up the wheel while you blast it, it shows fit the air to fill the gap better and makes the space it has to cover less
He shows the drop center of the wheel in the video, its a top mount not reverse. He flipped it to blast because trying to blast top mount on that specific wheel as he said is all open space until the last inch, can be very hard to seat a stretch on a drop center that big
Tip. Use a direct air line .ie, straight from your compressor or main line when trying to inflate the tyre. The Auto34 air hose as to much restriction, that's what the clicking sound is.. Great video !!
It might not make a whole lot of sense, but I work as a tire mechanic and I’ve had people asking me to stretch tires out and it’s been a pain. What I’ve found is that do the same as you are having the larger part of the drop center seated first, than putting it vertical on the balancing machine so that the rim doesn’t move at all and there’s no downward force of the weight of the tire to blast. That way once the bead is atleast some what seated on the back there’s a smaller pocket on the bottom side of the tire to blast. And the top of the tire is somewhat centred between both the beads on the rim. Not easy to explain in text or this extreme of a stretch
yup would trust that S)*(T on speed or any hard turn or maneuver. If anything I always try to go a bit more tire than rim to ensure my contact patch is as optimal and secure as possible.
Keep the air hose connected to the blaster after you build some pressure. Make sure the small input valve is opening and blast the tire right as the overpressure relief is about to go. This will keep forcing air for longer after you initially blast it. Be careful tho, the blaster will kick like a mule.
Back when it was the fad to put stretched 175/70-14's on 8-10" knock-off wire spoke wheels (usually on an 80's cutlass for some reason), we would simply inflate tubes in the tires ahead of time to help form a 'stretched memory' into the tire's sidewalls before mounting them. Think of it like this: tires at the shop were normally stacked by size, applying a squeezing (compression) pressure to them, and when you un-stack them they don't immediately return (relax) to normal width between the beads. By inflating tubes inside the tires ahead of time (days or weeks), we could reverse that squeeze and if we worked quickly, could get the tire mounted without a cheetah because they would momentarily hold that 'stretched memory' shape. We still required a signed liability (hold harmless) waiver, and warranty waiver.
I'm good with maybe a lil bit of stretch, like a tire that's an inch too short, it had a nice rounded edge like a racing go kart wheel, but it's not crazy.
Aslong as they use the same roads as us. It's not each to their own. .. it is stupid. Pointless and dangourous!!! Also negative camber is a good thing. All mordern cars have it. BUT and it's a big but. It's only a slight bit almost unnoticeable. When you have high amounts mixed with stretched tyres. It is stupid and dangourous
You did everything by the book. Would never use burning gas like some do.. Yes fill the tire allmost to max air pressure. Then lower it after a few min.. 185 is kinda extreme on a 13 inch.. but look good. Just a tip, be carefull stretching premium tires. Some of them are not strong enough to be stretch to much Supose to be some of the best to stretch is Falken tires
Something to consider with tore stretching is most if not close to all vehicles running them are show vehicles. Meaning they don't go on 100+ mile drives so the risk of a blow out is considerably lower then someone with a regular tire driving on a 500+ mile trip a few times a year
Those are reverse mount wheels, a ratchet strap would help you a lot, I've changed from low profile tires to stretching big super swampers on 15 inch wide wheels
Caleb Nation i had 195/45zr15’s an they felt way better beating the fuck ou of it, i tried 195/50-55, 205/45-55 and 185’s aaand 215s. The 195s felt better in terms of quicker turn in, overall response and how planted it was on the road. (And the fitment was 10x better altough i wouldve preffered 185’s but since i could pull 195’s and stay as low i stuck to that
No weights to balance? Wow. Like you, when I get a tire come up that says it needs no weights to balance, I turn the wheel 90 degrees on the balancer and test it again. Well done!
Mine use 185/55 to 16*9.0 on rear. 16*8.0 on the front. It’s kinda hard to mount new tires. So I always move the front to rear wheels. And put new tires on the front. It’s already pre-stretched so it’s easier to mount on the rear wheel. Front camber was neutral. But rear was -1.5’. I purposely let the rear wear the thread and finish off the tire.
I once beaded a karting tyre on a rim that had a mild stretch with deodorant and lighter, had a brick on the tyre to hold it in place, well you can guess the brick flew up pretty high :D
Use a p3 or also know as a quick air. You can also tube the tire and seat one bead then pull the tube out the drop center side. Pop a 413 stem in it and push the tire to seat the other side.
what happened in your successful attempt was the bead on the outside clung to the rim. i do it first time by seating the bead in the outside or inside rim with the standard bead breaker on my tyre machine then lift the tyre with hand until i close the gap and fill the tyre the normal way from the valve without using huge burst of air.
We had to mount some 35x10.50R20’s on a set of 20x15 wheels at the shop I used to work at. It was ludicrous. thankfully i convinced the kid of the error of his ways and got him to aim for real performance instead of I don’t even know what he was thinking. That truck was all Jankey when it first came to us...
Recently fitted a 185/60 on a 13x10. Then swapped to a 195/50 Thought it'd be funny to try a 165/60 and it inflated, but couldn't get fully stretched to both beads. So a 165/65 may be the absolute limit for a simple fire on stretch on the 13x10
Nice balance machine. I like your technique, although I some times find very little lube lets one bead stick a little better to the rim during bead seating. Thanks.
Thanx for the video. I'm actually doing this exact same thing. On the exact same VMS rim, only mines a 13x9. I'm also using the exact same tire, and size... lol But just to add something on stretches like this. It's best to have 2 guys, and 2 Cheetahs. Hit it from both sides, and it'll catch almost every time.
all depends on the amount of stretch and the air pressure. a 205 or a 215 on a 8" wide rim is a normal and safe stretch, but what shown in this video isnt considered safe. but safe enough that you can drive normal with high air pressure. people who know a bit about what they are doing dont have issues with debeading and stuff. stretching a tire on a rim so wide it doesnt even meet the edge of the rim is considered dumb :p showcars often do that.
Sometimes it helps to have a rachet strap around the tire to force the tire bead in contact with the inside of the rim. When it starts taking air by itself release the strap.
gotta love how mounting/balancing stations only have room for weights and a pry bar. The width scale, hammer, solvent, rags, abrasives, die grinders, ect. have nowhere to go. I've been wheeling a cart over there
I had a kid come to my shop wanting stretched tires. I laughed and told he should get the correct size tire for his rim. He didn’t like my advice. We live in a small town of just 500 people and all of our roads are dirt
Seems like you lost some custom and he lost some time lol, probably just went somewhere else. I see your point though, I don't understand this trend either
@@lordvader3538 Sounds like he avoided a lot of bullshit, I would have done the same thing at my shop. It's not worth the risk involved, if you dont do it right the beads can unseat and boom now you're fucked, especially if someone gets hurt.
Anthony Lamanna unless you’re stretching a ridiculous amount there’s no added risk. I’ve had 255’s on 10.5s for years now. Slight stretch, handles good. No extra wear. There’s nothing wrong with stretched tires.
In the Netherlands we have apk for cars, the yearly checkup. And they pass streched tires as long as the wheel doesn't stick out of the mud guard more than 30mm. So it is allowed in the Netherlands, with European insurance I can drive it through all of Europe without a problem.
You can't get away with driving on tyres like that in the uk anymore. They have changed our mot rules "thats a yearly mandatory inspection" If you get caught buy vosa or the police, its 3 points on your driving license and a fine per tyre. Plus you'll have to tow your car away as it has unsafe tyres.
Which law is this specifically? As far as I know the only law dictating tyres in the u.k is the one that states the tread on the tyre must not extend past the body of the car. I'm not defending a stretch like the one in this video by any means, I'm just interested in the law you mentioned.
0:05 This look isn't new, we were doing this on minitrucks when I was in high school in Beaverton Oregon in late 1980's. 15X10 reverse wheels, not wires, with a 195-50-15. Back then we had a very limited tire size selection, nothing like it is now. That's like 30+ years ago.
I'm surprised your tire machine doesn't have air jet to help seat the bead. I've found a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire can help deform the tire enough and push the bead out a little on stubborn ones. Of course take it off immediately after seating.
Lol! I remember doing this in the early to mid 1990’s. Best I ever did was a 195 on a 10” reverse offset rim. It could take hours to seat them. In those days the trend was spoked McLeans or Dayton’s with true spinner knock offs. Customers would leave with tires hitting fenders when they turned and not even care. We would have them all sign a release. Your balancing with the tire tag on. Come on mannnnn!
That's an impressive stretch! #MajorProps Here in Germany I do some tire stretch. I have special tools to cover the gap between the tire and the wheel. One cheep solution on less stretch can be a bicycle tube at the lower lip. The tire moves up and the compressed air can be shot directly in the gap. // Nice edit - like it a lot! 😎👍
@@n0eLoL I bought some a long time ago, so I don't remember exactly. But the diameter should be the same size. These parts are dirt cheap, so I bought a few in different widths. I recommend to buy the widest possible. For Dirt-Bikes or Downhill bikes für example. Worked pretty well. Cheers, TOBi 👋😉👍
Ive seen people get killed from idiots with these stretched tyres and as a qualified tyre fitter it should be illegal in all countries they are dangerous... Most of time fitted to a car with extreme camber meaning your driving on the sidewalls
@@petergriffin4629 your stretching the tire to a point it will cause cracking in the tire, do some highway driving especially with camber, and your tire life can be next to nothing, plus it reduces your contact patch just get the right size wheel and tire so you get performance and a mean track stance
History of tire stretching goes wayyyy back to racing in I want to say the 50s or earlier when tire tech wasnt there and racing teams needed different wheel specs and to change the tire profile. Its pretty interesting and worth a look.
I noticed. most of your attempts you were shooting air at the tire. when it went up you were shooting air downwards at the tire when it inflated on the rim 🚘🚘🚘
Nice bro! So 195 60 r15 will be no problem in a 15x8 for daily driving? America's tire won't mount my tires smh. And also what psi should I run? It's for a 2004 XB
I wouldn't say its safe, but to say its gonna pop at any moment is a bit of an exaggeration. As long as the tire is fairly new and not cracked or dry rotted, avoid large pot holes, and regularly check tire pressure it should be ok.
Yes...more 86 action!! Really like your videos, keep up the good work. Did you find the more air you let pump into the tire from the valve stem the easier it was to seat the tire??
I reviewed clips of the failed attempts and it seems like the angle I held the bead blaster and how much I absorbed the recoil of it was the key. But it could of been luck in the end.
It's been a while since I edited a video, used this opportunity to break off some rust.
Also new AE86 video coming soon, soon as in not next week.. probably late January or early February.. I hope.
Holy shit, my prayers have been answered! Hallelujah!

It was my Christmas wish , now it's true
I'm just happy that you are back! I find my self watching your old videos over and over... It's been a REAL while... #longhairdontcare 🤘🏼😊
The most impressive thing was getting a perfect tire Ballance without weights.
`must be a high quality / expensive wheel.
pull the stickers off and it will need 5 gram :)
Vølga i balance tires all the time, it’s a rare occasion but it happens
Static balance its not a dynamic balance
Plus he’s doing single weights instead of dual. When I balance wheels that only need single weights, most of the time it come out to less than a gram or even no weights.
Are we all missing the fact that tire was perfectly balanced
Shane Osborne as all things should be
It's not hard at all to balance a tire.
@@heyjaypay4521 he means he didnt have to put counter weights on it at all, it was perfectly balanced after the seating
thanos approved.
@Příslušník VB yeah that bugged me, always took those off before balancing when I did it.
This is the least ducheist video I have even seen on stretching tires. I'm glad I watched. Thumbs up for you.
We have been stretching tires for years in the low rider community 5.20’s on 13x7 wire wheels and 155-80-13 tires in the same style wheel. 👍
You have the charisma and demeanor in your videos to take this channel a lot further, I subbed right away

You have nice calm warm voice, was watching tyre reviews and this just popped on a autoplay. You got a new subscriber.
I wonder when installing tires inside out will catch on in japan.
In Sweden they put them backwards, mostly because ther are arabic trying to do something in the shops.
I’m positive they do. I even do that at a dealership in the US
@@greatestever3814 wait... what?
It was by accident that the newbie didn't know how to inflate tires and he did it upside down with too much air....bamp! there it is...

i run a very slight stretch on my tires, i have a 8.5' wheel and 215 tires, looks perfect for my taste
I agree, a little stretch is tasteful
Yeah, that combo is fine. I tried a 205 40 17 on a 8.5 bmw wheel, but it didn't look right. Ended up with a 225 45 17.
Man. That's a big rim for that small tire. My hat is off to you. For mounting that.
The most ridiculous stretch i ever did was 205/45 on a 17x10. That already was pretty dumb :'D
And i wanna try a 235 35 on a 12j...
Tjulfar du hier?
yup would trust that S)*(T on speed or any hard turn or maneuver. If anything I always try to go a bit more tire than rim to ensure my contact patch is as optimal and secure as possible.
Good video on a stupid trend. Nice job!
I did this 40 year ago because couldn't afford wide tyres when I made my own wide wheels for my mini

A tiny bit of stretch can vastly improve turn in response. I have 205/50/15s on 15x8s which has amazing turn in

A rachet strap around mid tire works well also. Federal makes good tires so the no need for weights is believable.

One think we doo with these is but a inner tube inside and strecth se sides and let it be like that for a day or two makes it a lot easier
Lighter fluid works well

One cheep solution on less stretch can be a bicycle tube at the lower lip. The tire moves up and the compressed air can be shot directly in the gap. // Nice edit - like it a lot! 😎👍
A few people had mentioned this one to me. I have yet to try it. What would be the size of bicycle tire to use? Same size as wheel?
@@n0eLoL I bought some a long time ago, so I don't remember exactly. But the diameter should be the same size. These parts are dirt cheap, so I bought a few in different widths. I recommend to buy the widest possible. For Dirt-Bikes or Downhill bikes für example. Worked pretty well. Cheers, TOBi 👋😉👍
Having a 2nd person makes seating the bead a lot easier. get em to hold the tire in the middle of the rim.
Looks sick man, nice wheel choice
Yeah starting fluid is way easier and works on bigger tires like AG tires and stiff tractor trailer tires when the cheetah doesn't have enough volume
Ive seen people get killed from idiots with these stretched tyres and as a qualified tyre fitter it should be illegal in all countries they are dangerous... Most of time fitted to a car with extreme camber meaning your driving on the sidewalls
How exactly did they kill people?
Peter Griffin tire explodes causes you to lose control of car=accident
I'd like to see when, where, and how someone was killed by this.
@@petergriffin4629 I think the camber is now at fault though not the stretch
@@petergriffin4629 your stretching the tire to a point it will cause cracking in the tire, do some highway driving especially with camber, and your tire life can be next to nothing, plus it reduces your contact patch just get the right size wheel and tire so you get performance and a mean track stance
It's all about the angle you approach the the cheetah you want it to be almost vertical when your stretching a tire
I missed ur uploads so much
thank you for waiting so patiently Justin :)
History of tire stretching goes wayyyy back to racing in I want to say the 50s or earlier when tire tech wasnt there and racing teams needed different wheel specs and to change the tire profile. Its pretty interesting and worth a look.
Awsome video man. I work for vianor tire so I relate with you lol
IM wondering if you sinched up a strap around the tire to assist you
To get a ridiculous stretch, it was the lube. It's always the lube...lol
AND you pulled triple zed on the balancer...! LMAO.! Icing on the cake.!
I noticed. most of your attempts you were shooting air at the tire. when it went up you were shooting air downwards at the tire when it inflated on the rim 🚘🚘🚘
i have no idea how you did that especially that brad blaster
Nice bro! So 195 60 r15 will be no problem in a 15x8 for daily driving? America's tire won't mount my tires smh. And also what psi should I run? It's for a 2004 XB
195/60R15 is pretty conservative and honestly suprised a shop wouldn't mount those. As far as PSI, really anything from 28 - 35.
Great video, as always 👍 How safe is it to run a stretch that extreme?
I wouldn't say its safe, but to say its gonna pop at any moment is a bit of an exaggeration. As long as the tire is fairly new and not cracked or dry rotted, avoid large pot holes, and regularly check tire pressure it should be ok.
Thank you learn something new every day
@5:44 sounds like a missle launch
Yes...more 86 action!! Really like your videos, keep up the good work. Did you find the more air you let pump into the tire from the valve stem the easier it was to seat the tire??
I reviewed clips of the failed attempts and it seems like the angle I held the bead blaster and how much I absorbed the recoil of it was the key. But it could of been luck in the end.
This was a fun video. Thanks for making and uploading it.
