Anyone know a tire mounting place with a cheetah or experience with stretching some tires? Yes, I know all the recommended tire places, but I don’t know if they have any experience stretching some tires. Tire size is 195/50/15 on 15x8" rims. and a cheetah is something like this: [http://www.amazon.com/Service-Tools-TSICH-5-Cheetah-Seater/dp/B000GBKFWG](http://www.amazon.com/Service-Tools-TSICH-5-Cheetah-Seater/dp/B000GBKFWG) Apparently it is used to seat the bead ---

i think i know of someone who made one out of an old propane cylinder, isnt it the thing that just shoots a shit load of air really fast into the tire? ---

the actual cheetah scratches the lip of your rim. touchless mounting machines have rubber backed air jets that are much safer for the rims. if that doesnt work though I would have them mounted and either use a supplemental ring or some ether and a match ---
