Hi
In this tutorial I will show you how to modify your regular tires into the nice stretch wall tires we all know and like, but don't want to pay a fortune for
In this guide I will be using these tools:
Dremel
Cylinder sanding bit for Dremel
Masking tape
Ultra sharp knife blade
Knife
Sanding stick
So when you start your table should look like this:

First of all, remove the sand paper from your sanding bit:

Wrap tape around it untill it fits your tire (Warning: This may consume a lot of tape)

So you end up with something similar to this:

Now mount our Dremel Tire Bit on our dremel and save it for later:

Now take your ultra sharp blade (Warning: Ultra sharp blades are sharper than just sharp blades so be ultra careful)

Unpack your ultra sharp blade:

Carefully mount it on the knife

Now back to the Dremel. Mount the tire on our Tire Dremel Bit we made earlier:
[img]http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp270/md ... 00x600.jpg[/img]
Start up the dremel and use your knife to cut off the side wall of the tire:

When you are happy with the angle, take your sanding stick and sand the cutted part so it become nice and smooth:

Remember to move your sanding stick around, otherwise you will get skid marks like these:

And there we go, one stretch wall tire:

Looks much nicer than what we started with:
