    well on bigger tires be carful, today in class (OTC Diesel) they were telling us NOT TO DO THAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES becuase a guy did it, and some how F-ed up and the rim came apart and completely shredded him, cut him in two, and they had to replace the ceiling because of all the blood. so if you do it, USE CAUTION. I didnt know it was that dangerous.. but they clearly told us, dont do it.. but on a ATV/ATC it should be okay. just dont stand in front of it like they said. just my 2cents

    ya, just put a rope aroung it real tight, and just blast it full of air, if that doesnt work, i think autozone seats them.

    After it burns, it will no longer be explosive.

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.
