My favorite way to seat a bead that is giving me a hard time.....starting fluid or any flammable spray.

I could of used that idea today on one of the zero turn tires today, I did not end up getting it, just gave up for today. Don't think I'm gonna try that though LOL

This method is best for larger tires, the first time I saw it done was on a large terra gator tire they used a lot of spray so it was a very impressive explosion....if you do it on a small garden tractor tire I always make sure I have the valve core pulled out and use very little spray also do it outdoors just to be safe.

yes the first itime i saw it done is when i had a new set of tires put on me peterbuilt truck. it work on them also.they now have a portable air tank that they use to forse air into the rim while u hook up the air line to the valve stem and its much safer too.

Very common when you lose a bead off road while running low pressure. Jim

I have had this done to many of big truck tires and it does work. There is a down side though. Are tire guy where I worked at was doing this to one of are low-boy trailer tires and there was a weak spot on the rim and it caused the rim to break a small chip come flying out clear across the shop and put a huge slash in one of are mechanics. Darn lucky it was just an arm. This guy was 60ft away. Even being careful things can happen when doing this. Don't know if I would want to try it on a small tire though.

jake, good air pressure , use a rachet strap , with bead sealer of soapy water. take valve core out for better pressure , some air chucks wont work without a valve.

 

been doing the either trick for years. saw a guy get blown into a side of a van at the gas station i worked. gotta do them outside in the open.

Don't know what he was using, but it look like he used a lot more than was required to seat the tire.

Very dangerous PERIOD. I watched a guy do that on one of my truck tires on my IH cabover. A Cracked rim equalled a broken arm and several stitches for him. Not a good choice I'd say.We use a cheetah now. Much safer.

I know of a small tire shop that used this method a lot....Oh, and yes, that is how they burnt the building down!
