Discount tire near Avalon Park by Sonny's will stretch tires and has done so for me numerous times with no issues. There's dudes that work there with low cars, so they know what's up

Just chiming in. I had a horrible experience while i was in Orlando before coming overseas with discount. I needed 2 front tires replaced. 2x Hankook 235/35/20 on 2 x 9.5x20 VIP MODULAR wheels.
-They broke my center cap.. and charged me for a replacement!
-Both tires went flat within 2 days of install
-first one was due to valve no tightened/checked and it leaked whle i was parked.
-second, as i was turning, valve step SANPPED from tire itself.
I will NEVER go to discount tire. i spoke with DAVID from vip modular and he said to not use discount tire.. they have had many call of ruined wheels.. While my tire went flat, I damaged my rim on the inner barrel as well.. I was leaving that next Sunday for Iraq... I will be paying a visit to them once i get back for damages..
Just a heads up.

Call places that are near you and ask if they'll do it. That's how I found discount, I just walked in and they did it. I know a guy that got his stretched at sears of all places. It depends of who's running it and what they're willing to do. Older dudes will probably tell you it's unsafe and etc...so probably avoid those places. Or ask performance shops in the area if they could recommend someone. Good luck

True.. it is all who you work with.. First time i was in orlando and needed work.. didnt have a choice due to not paying attention to my tires and then noticed wires starting to show.. Just be careful and check their work if you can is all I'm saying
