When you say it doesn't work and quote joe_blow1 or joe_blow2 it doesn't make any difference how they THINK it should work. I've conceded that I believe there are some stretches that are probably too aggressive to be safe, but that doesn't mean that I believe all tire stretching is unsafe.
I never said it doesn't work. That's just silly. I stated that it's not wise, and would prove detrimental to the tire. I've provided facts on the nature of rubber and the mechanics that will cause issues. Whether or not you believe me is your call.
