broken bead

Wrap a ratchet tie down strap around the tire and snug it a little bit, then put in the air. Works every time and no BOOM! lol.

x2 ^ i also pull the valve stem valve out to let air get in there faster

You dont need the ratchet strap if only one bead is broken, just soap the wheel and air that sucker up!!

I just did this the other day and it worked great. Take a ratchet strap and run it around the tire and pull it down tight till the tire starts to colaps on its self then take a hammer and beat on the traed of the tire making your way around it a couple times to start and seal the bead then take air to it with the strap on and it sould seat the bead just fine.

- I was mounting new to me tires that leak and are peices of ****! And i dint read all the posts so shut up!!! hahaha

Soapy water in a spray bottle always works for me. Having a big ass compressor doesn't hurt either.
