air leak in stretched tyres

What brand tyres lad

Some tyres stretch well and some don't.

What look u want is up to you. I don't understand stretching tyres but I'm more into having a car that will function. I won't even run anything less than 205 I my 8 inch rims with my ideal size 225

Your tyres may have a stiff side wall causing it to not like the stretch. As said above some stretch better than others.

I used to try and stretch ridiculous tyres onto the most over-sized wheels you could imagine all the time when I used to run a tyre shop...

The inside edge of the tyre (bead) is meant to meet the rim at a perpendicular angle (like 90 degs) on a correctly matching wheel and tyre.

What you are doing is forcing the beads to be parallel with the rim from the outside in and they aren't sealing.

If you are trying to stretch something like a set of 195/45 nexens or federals or something rubbish like that, that is why you are failing.

You need to pick a tyre suitable in that size for stretch, like a Toyo T1R... you can make them look like rubber bands and they will hold air and corner without un-mounting them but you will obviously be sacrificing grip and probably buckle your wheels over the first decent pothole you don't notice if your pressures are right.

....

p.s. the inside of the valve is probably pushing the sidewall directly against the road every time it rolls over it and lets air escape for a fraction of a second while the tyre isn't round...
