As a friend of yours, I’d hate to have any consequences from a mistake being taken out on another friend. I’d rather have some dude I don’t know get screwed and I wouldn’t feel any remorse. Ive never heard of a tire place covering the cost of a new wheel for scratching one(especially a stretched tire) or insurance covering it. Ive personally tried and they just go “meh it was like that”. Probably because I couldnt prove shit. This is why I only go to places I trust, care about their reputation, AND I always stand there and watch. > [@You knew it was coming v.

Def good work > [@My Bag of Milk turned brown](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-bag-of-milk-turned-brown/45732/37): > > When you use starter fluid prop the wheel/tire on two tires spaced apart so that the tire sits up around the valve stem. Pry it open and put your starter fluid in there, then apply air and light it. We (Steve and I) have mounted tons of tires this way. I currently run a 205/40 on a 9" wheel which is similar in stretch and that’s how I had to mount them Yeah I got a nice explanation with pics from this dude that shows exactly how to position every etc. I tried tons of different positions (lol) without any luck. I was able to do 205/40s on 8.5s but these are giving me trouble. Doesnt help that I went with a tire that run extra narrow ha Ill let you guys know how it goes tomorrow. Hopefully followed by mounted pics:number1 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/whos-a-beast-at-mounting-stretched-tires/260797)._
