Streching tyres
 
After a few tips on streching a couple of tyres, i recentley got a 96/15/15 and its been deflated for a long time as it would only roll out 94 inches really need it to be up around the 96 again,
So any tips to get it happening, obviously putting some decent pressure in it, but anything to spray on the tyre?
Cheers Paull

Nothing I know of to spray on the tyre to help, about 30-35 psi and lay it in the sun will help, if you have sun down there, we don't, or put it on an run a few laps, that sometimes works, especially when you don't want it to. Cheers! Bob

If you have a big enough oven. Take the mounted tire with valve stem removeed and put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 300-350 degrees for 15-20 min. Pull it out and pressure it till you get your stagger.
