JoeA Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Till they don't look flat? Probably around 40-43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm only slightly stretched 165 on a 6" and mine looks flat on standard pressures (28-30) I tend to run around 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 if theyre seated properly then you shouldnt really be running any higher than normal, itll just cause for uneven tyre wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennerz07 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 How much should you pay to put 4 stretched tyres on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ministig Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Cool thanks mate. Don't say stretched tyres to the garage though, some get funny. Go in and ask to put some tyres on wheels - simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 From what i've read is your best to buy the tires you want then take them to a garage and ask them to fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 If you go a reputable place it shouldn't A reputable garage probably wouldn't do it. Not 165 on an 7 or 8" rim anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Probably right there tbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was under the impression that folk who ran stretch usually knew the person sticking them on? I didn't think garages were eer that keen to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north wales loop Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 In my experience some garages will fit the tyre onto the wheel but will not blow them up lol!!!! Ended up getting a machine at home, went 3 ways with my dad and brother to pay for it .... soooooooo handy to be able to whip tyres on and off whenever you fancy!
