good news/bad news
I have a set of wheels and tires! This is the good news.
So that was the good news...
BAD NEWS!
When you mount up one of these gigantic bastard tires, how do you go about seating the bead?
EITHER.
We had the tire standing up proped against a car-lift. I sprayed some either in the tire and lit it. You could see that the flame was pushing the bead to try and seat it but it didnt completely go. So I tried it again. Again, it wooshed and the bead almost seat but didn't. We then took the tire and put it underneth the lift and set the lift down on the top of the tire. We were trying for the same effect as a ratchet strap. The bead was considerably closer to the seat on the wheel. I sprayed and lit and BOOM! It seated with enough force to shake parts off the block wall and dust came from everywhere! No one was hurt we were both wearing face shields, glasses and gloves. The only casualties were the tire and some armhair
Let me make this perfectly clear, this is a VERY DANGEROUS way of doing it but it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, it looks like this...
