why didnt the brake cleaner ignite? did you try other aerosols?

yea i tried other aerosols... starter fluid, hairspray, etc..  i guess i cant get the rite amount of oxygen at the rite time  to creat the explosion...

are you sure youre using the correct method for the starter fluid method? i mean i havent done this process yet, and plan to experiment eventually, but it is my understanding that one side of the tire needs to be seated. please feel free to correct me if im wrong.

wut type of tire.... only tire that works for me are 265 35 18 continental.... 60+psi  cheetah works so does regular airing it..

bridgestone potenza... probly heat up the sidewalls next time so the'll be soft and hit it up with a cheetha again...

when you run big stretches, its best to go with cheap tires. Good tires won't stretch as much. If you can get it on, there is a good chance you will loose the bead quickly due to their real stiff sidewalls. Try to trade them for like 3-4 cheap tires

does sound rite... sidewalls r stiff on these thats why im having so much trouble... like when i use the cheetah, it'll seat for like 2 secs and then just pop back out...

the man speaks the truff
I run 60.00 18s and they strech on a 10j with NO problem. barely any effort. cheaper the better.

put them out in the sun for a few hours, maybe longer, then mount them up. or leave the tire on the barrel and let it sit in the sun, then try the cheetah, or try the lighter fluid method again...

lol funny thing is that no matter what at that stretch it will pop off just not sure when.. i went drifting this weekend on em lasted 3 laps and so much tire pressure one just died of camber wear then rolling into pits the other just popped lol

Spray the brake cleaner and then let sit of about 5 sec before you ignite them. You need to spray the brake clean at maybe 3 different spot on the inside of the tire so you get all around the tire.

got them to kinda seat but sidewalls too thick on these 265's to stretch ...
