    Does anyone know where I can get my tyres stretched. Anywhere in Louth or North Dublin. I want it so the tyre sits on the alloy. If you have a look at the two pictures you might see what I mean.

    Are all the wheels and tyres the same size?

    Saw a VW CC quite rightly fail an NCT for this.

    It's a bit hard to tell from the first pic, but is the tyre actually slipping off the rim?

    If so, I wouldn't drive it at all.

    Everything is fine. I'm just looking to get the tyre stretched so it sits on the rim the way the second picture looks

    looks like the rim protector on the tyre. no rim protector on the others?
    tyres are either properly seated or not.
    might be useful to have a pic of the other tyre that looks ok in your opinion

    That could be it. Originally I was thinking the tyre was stretched. Any idea where I could get tyres with the rim protector?

    Depends on the tyre type. if the others have it just get the exact same tyre.
    I am sure if you go into a good tyre seller they can advise you.
