QUICK TIP : Seating Stubborn Tire Beads

Showing a way of seating a tire bead. The grease I used was just the universal black stuff

This video saved my from shoveling my driveway. I rolled the rim out of my Cub Cadet 100 while plowing this afternoon. Because you took the time to point out grease would work, I was able to finish and help out with the senior citizens across the street. Thank you for taking the time!

I work in a tire shop, but have never had to install lawn tractor tires before. I found your video after fighting with those pancake tires for hours. The grease around the bead worked awesome, thank you for sharing this trick! I learn something almost every day!

Thanks for the tip. I had a wheel on a cart that I had to replace the valve stem on. Could not get the tire to take air at all. It kept leaking around the bead. Tried the rope thing like you did and that didn't work. I tried using some slime around the bead, but the air just blew right through that. As soon as I tried some grease the tire inflated instantly. What a relief.

I bought two tires for my trailer, they were like yours all squeshed together, they told me that is because they band them all so tight for shipment from China so they can get more on the boat, they are a real trick to mount.
