Title: mounting tires
Post by: J.C. on August 25, 2013, 09:45:47 PM
Got a set of 33x12.50x15 bfg a/ts, and I have 15x10 rims that I want to mount them on. Problem is that the rims seem like they are way to wide. I was thinking ether, a cheetah, I doubt a ratchet strap would do any good. Any other ideas?

I use a chain, hook it loose then take piece of pipe and twist it so the tire bead cloes to setting and put air to it.

X2 but set the center of the rim on something else so the tire is off the ground and the wieght of the tire seals the bottom bead. That way it forces the all the pressure up and gives it a better seal. Be sure to have that air chuck ready because it only stays inflated for about 10 seconds. Oh and another tip... Leave the valve stem IN. Its alot easier lol.

I mounted all 5 of the 33/12.5 tires on the tracker on 10" rims with nothing but a couple 4x4's, a small air compressor and windex.  Call me tomorrow and ill tell you how.

I try too get the back side of the tire on the wheel first       usually by leaning it up against something give it a couple good  kicks too get the bead started    if the tire is big enuff  to get a small hammer in side of it you can pound the bead on there       then lay it down with  the stem facing up    usually  with a  couple blocks under the very edge of the  tire    with  a wider tire  any of the  methods  already mentioned with  a strap chain etc  helps also ya just want too slightly pinch the center of the tire   once ya get the first one on the rest will be easy   theres lots of different ways too doo it tho   if the tires have been stacked up with out rims and are smooshed down cut a couple blocks too fit between the beads too stretch em out for a couple days

JC,
I have a bead seater for semi tires at work, I can get them done for you.
if you were able to bring them to Wixom I'd do it any day.. if not, I can bring it home next time I drive my truck.
