Got the holeshot
Okay I got the old one off easy enough, but the new tire came in with the label wrapped around the tire and kinda deformed it. The tire is on the rim now but since its kinda deformed it won't seat. I wrapped a cord around the circumferance of the tire and twisted it, Will this thing come back into shape in a day or two? How about the gas or starting fluid trick? Anything to watch for? Jim

if its inflated it will retake its origanial shape. But if its not it probably wont, maybe let it sit in the sun, if you have any.

I bounce the tire and rim on the floor workin my way around the circumference of the tire. Sometimes I'll use ato beat on the tire while trying to inflate air at the same time. The number 1 thing is you dont want it jumpin the safety bead if you use the starting fluid.. good luck

I saw this one video of a unseated jeep tire a while ago. When it came off in the woods they sprayed bus spray on it and lit it. I guess the heat made the bead seat?

The starting fluid trick works, kinda scary the first time you do it. Kinda fun after that.

Ok i have no clue what the strater fluid trick is but im guessing, you take the inside is the stem out. Spray some starter fluid in. Light it up and hope the pressure seats the tire?

HELLO, my name is stickers!
Catch me if you can
A how to blow yourself up video! I've used this technique a few times. I would not recommend lighting the stream of fluid on fire though... and gotta remeber that guy is doing it to a huge truck tire. I would think a one of two second burst inside the tire would be suffiecent for an atv tire. I also do it by tossing a lit match.Originally Posted by crownpoint

What the hell is bus spray? Is that some sort of aerosol repellent to ward off those pesky city busses?

Yea about a 1 to 1.5 second blast is all you need for ATV tires. The way I light it is lay a little strip of ether out from the tire and hit that. It travels to the tire and........done.
I leave the valve core out, and spray into the bead area most of the way around.
If you don't get carried away, and stay back a little, it's pretty safe, but according to the CPSC...........

Make sure to Deflate the tire after it has Seated with the Starting fluid, Not good to have explosive Gas in youR tire. will cause it to expand more when hot and whatnot.
