I tried the tire stretch thing and didn't work. It took close to 3 hours in the sun and 80 degrees to get them close. I left them set for about 6 hrs at normal pressure and they were good.I couldn't run them until the next day. Well it shrunk back down and I didn't check it before the 1st pass and then it was too late. It may work if you can stretch them at the track so you can do an immediate burnout.

shrinking works lot better than stretching does. After years of trying the stretch thing I had someone tell me to shrink them. Basically take biggest one drop pressure to 2lbs or less and heat it some,then let cool. I Used a forced induction heater and rotated tire every cpl minutes to heay soak it. Let cool and tires went from 3/4" difference to under 1/4",

To what do you attribute the close rollout?
