How To Mount Tires on Rims - Offroad

BigTruckGuy · #1 03-01-2010, 12:46 AM

Dont wana pay the mechanic that pretty penny to mount your wheels and tires? Do a free mount at!!!

Est time. 5 minutes at most.

Tools:
Safety First - Goggles/Gloves
Starter Fluid
Lighter (like a cig striker lighter)
Air tank/hose

Put the rim inside the tire. Tire lips/bead on inside of rim on both sides

Spray the starter fluid on the bead of the tire.

Now strike your flame where u sprayed and presto.

Tricky Part:
As soon as you strike the flame immediately air up the tire or it will suck in the tire and pop it off the rim. Suggestion is have hose right next to you and drop your lighter and start airing up.

Its as simple as that.

Heres a video for easier understanding. (Not me in Video..Got it off youtube.) no copywrite ment.

P.S. I am not held accountable for if accident happens. Try at own risk. But not very dangerous unless you use to much fluid lol.

Yeah, I personally wouldn't try that on anything other than steel wheels, like what are used for offroading. I have done it a few times out on the trail when you pop the tire off the wheel from low air pressure. Not as fun as it looks.

Oh and that dude ruined that jeep..

I have done that as well. You spend anytime offroading, it will happen.

However, it won't work for small tires
