Blank, actually how to stretch it?

I've seen some using fire with flammable fluid put on the side wall of the tires.

i normally ask the tire shop guys to use those lorry tire inflater... pre pump into a tank around 3 bar. and release one shot thru the side. 1 Q settle. like the 2nd video....

 

[TitanRev]

Renxun, why it will be like this? just give a huge shot of compress air at the sidewall makes it stretch outwards...I'm still unclear here...

how does these stretched tyres perform on track? or solely for cosmetics?
looks like tyre might pop-out from the rims during cornering wor?

TitanRev:
erm...hard for me to explain here...will explain it to you when we meet up...

renxun:
yup...some tire shop use the 2nd method too...at least better then the force type and few big guys...but need some skill thou...

xbalance2002:

daremo:
haven't heard or seen it happen yet till now....*touch wood*

 

[daremo]

how do they keep the sidewalls stuck to the rim lips btw? curious...

Nice stretch.......but

the rim is at risk of getting kerb scrapes....if park too close to road kerb.
Technically, tyres are not designed to be stretched (even the minor case). The safety of the tyre is compromised. I don't mean to criticize anyone here....but the risk is always there.

Anyway, it's the owner's rim and he'll can do what he wish. Practical use or good look? You decide...

Guys...a few questions...

1) Why people stretch the tyre ?

2) What if, you have a same tyre...put on different rims...one is normal rim, the other one is sick ass deep dish n wheel is stretched...how's the ride comfort, cornering n so on...

thanks...
