For stretching tires I have found it easiest to give them extra air and no heat. On RH tires if I need to stretch 1/4″ I blow them up to about 60 psi, let sit overnight, and they are usually right where I need them. On the LH tires you don’t need nearly as much air. I’ve found if I heat them I tend to overstretched.
