Does anyone know which garages around here will stretch tyres without any problems? I know not everywhere is keen on doing it.

I work at Lobitos tyres and as long as u's come to see me personally I do a lot of stretching! Most of the other lads are a bit scared of doing it and turn people away,

Lobitos were twats when i wanted fresh stretch on my old classics,

Never been to them since, (scott dont think you worked there since)

Andys tyres do it straight off

Tyre place on Gaerwen ind state did mine no problems and it was mad stretch! Just tell em it's for a show car

Cool! It should be alright then, cos it'll only be a subtle stretch I think.

Thanks for your reply 'scottymk1' too, but you're abit too far for me

I'm crapping it about the wheels being damaged during the process though
