Any shops in long beach to help stretch my tire?
Hey guys, have a really stupid problem. I'm only stretching a 19x9.5 rim with a 235/35/19 inch tire! Falken Azenis. My friend got his on perfectly fine, no problems and regardless I've seen bigger stretches.
The beads on the falkens are spotless, but it seems the rim is leaking air from the bead! These rims are brand new, just got them from varrstoen. I need someone or a shop to help me mount this tire on my rim.. I'm about to try that brake cleaner & fire method lol. Can't believe it's not sealing, the tire shop I went too couldn't do it, and they knicked up my rim pretty bad but it's okay.. I'll repaint them.

Varrstoen's are kinda bad for stretching. I've heard quite a few people are having problems with them holding air.
PM Candlestick park, he'll know a shop in your area.
Edit; beat me to it Marcus

Discount Tires on Long Beach Blvd and Anaheim, one of the best guys I know that stretches tires in LB. Ask for Tommy, or try City Tires Service in Downey and ask for John

I live down the street from that discount tire haha, Ernie use to give me discounts but he's on and off with them. Tyco hit me up! I need this damn tire on, it's holding me back lol. I'm trying to finish my air suspension, and I spent so much money on new tires, dismounting, mounting, balancing, all that crap.
I might try southgate, I'm going there for a "smog" today >.>

Problem solved, just a tire issue. Most of my friends run varrstoens, never had an issue with them stretching at all. From the BBS to the TE37's, great product.
Thumbs up to DiscountTire on Redondo & Anaheim BTW.
