new tires

pcvst.tech

Didn't know where else to post this question because it is not specific to any one model. I just got in a bunch of new tires and they came strapped together, and compressed, so much so that I cannot get them to inlfate when I put them on a rim. Is it normal for these tires to come from the factory like this? Does any one here know of a way to get these tires to expand enough to allow me to inflate them?

starting fluid and a lighter... but be careful!!!

Put a ratchet strap around the tire, that should pull the center in and push the sidewalls out. Hope it works for you. I've done it several times on ATV tires!!!!!

This technique is dangerous as heII, UNLESS you know what you're doing. Watching videos of it on YouTube scares the crap outta me.

yeah, gotta find a way to do this with out setting my self on fire. the place where I got the tires from told me to boil the tires... right, so I start a camp fire, and boil tires in a half of a 55 gallon drum... on the side walk in lower manhatten. I've got 10 pan cake tires here that are useless to me. crap on a cracker

Get the place you got em from to mount them.

Stick with the sidewalk campfire in Manhattan.

I personally like and use the either method. Have used it on atv tires as well as 48 inch Boggers....works great but deffinatly be careful......use my method....Spray-light and run like hell.......

I actually had the same problem with a set of tires I bought off of Ebay for my sons' quad. They were so bad, even the tre shop could not seat them, so I bought tubes for them, and installed with tubes even though they are tubeless. They were a little crooked looking at first, but after summer heat, and being stretched out having been inflated with the tubes and being ridden on, they straighted out.

Solution: stuff a tube in the tire, and leave inflated for days in the sun. then when ready to mount, slide onto the rim, and be quick before the side wall collapses. I put a gallon jug in the center of the tube to help apply pressure to the inside of the tire instead of just spilling out the center. see photo. altho a manhatten side walk camp fire would have been more fun... Cheers!
