Here's a presumably easy question. I'm moving some radials from my old, tatty wire wheels to my shiny, new mags. I have the rubber on the mags, but I can't get the buggers to inflate because the bead

Yes, you need some high powered air source. Usually. Most the time it is quite difficult to do it without an air compressor that moves a good bit of air and a way to put pressure over all the circumf

My father and I managed to get a bead on a tire a few times by attaching one of those ratcheting tie-downs around the circumference of the tire, then tightening it slightly. This causes the two beads

A ratcheting cargo strap around the circumference of the tire will help force the beads to the edges of the wheel. Combined with the dishsoap, this should get you going. When you start the air into t

What do you have against tubes? Seriously, it's difficult to start the inflation of a tire onto a tubeless rim if the tire has taken a 'set' from another orientation. A decent service station can ea

Thanks for all the suggestions, I took out the valve and used a rope tourniquet around the tire but it still wouldn't seat with the wimpy gas station compressor. I ended up taking it to a tire shop.

True, but they also remove the valve from the stem first. The procedure is to remove the valve from the stem, air until the bead pops out, put the valve back in the stem, and fill the tire to your de
