Seating That FIRST Tire Bead: Easy Method
70,400
Published 2022-06-02
This is especially the case with new tires, because the beads are close together, and not out where they will seat on your rim. Once you have that first bead seated, you can use several methods... even just pushing the wheel in to the remaining bead... to easily finish the job.

Thank you for making this video. I was able to seat a new tire on a Nissan Titan wheel rim by using 4 one gallon paint cans and doing exactly what you did to get tire to seat on bead. I really appreciate that you took the time to make this video and share it.

I struggled for an hour and half with a 14 inch D rated trailer tire. Using this tactic I had the bead seated in 3 minutes. I knew what needed to be done just not exactly how to accomplish it. Thanks for the video!

Thanks a lot for this video. I was lost on where to begin to set the bead on my 12” lawn tractor tire. After your video it took less than ten minutes to do so.

I really appreciate it. I tried strap wrench but not working. This is the best method that I've ever tried. For the block of woods, I used 3 tires instead.

I put my small lawn tractor tires on top of a 5 gallon bucket and stomped them a few times and it worked. I had been trying different methods to set the for about 2 hows and after watching this video I set them both in less than 5 minutes.

Thank you so much. I’ve been struggling with this tire for hours.

Murphy ‘s tire and tube mounting compound is an excellent rubber lubricant and the use of open flow air chuck really works . Amazon supplies both products.

Thanks a ton, I just broke down two trailer tires and replaced them with new ones, I fought and fought trying to get that one side to seat. I finally found your video and used old plastic milk crates and an old bucket of the same height and POP it went right on and aired right up. Thanks again.

Well dang! Wasn’t expecting that at all. I’m filing that one away for later use. Thanks.

Worked like a charm thanks for the video !

When I thought I'd seen all the tricks I learn a new one and it works great! Thanks for sharing.

Your Technique was setting the first bead save me $250 because I was able to use my 3 gallon air compressor and the way you took the other side it just took both your hands and gently pressed down you made it look so simple I'm so glad I wasn't recording myself doing the same thing before I watched your video because it did not look good thank you again

I watch many other videos. This one actually worked and quickly. Thanks

Excellent video, thanks 👍

Thanks I'm about to change the tires on my car and i saw a video about mounting the tire on the wheel but it didn't say anything about seating the bead
-
Awesome. Worked like a champ.

Yeah, yeah, it looks sketchy ..but it works! Just use a ladder or deck post for stability so you don't break yourself. Thanks for posting. 👍
