John/Horace Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Kinda neat. I prefer using a ratchet strap over ether. Safer for eye brows etc. https://jalopnik.com/how-not-to-set-a-bead-on-a-tire-1847019195 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neto Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have done it on my zero turn tires by the twisted rope method, and also with a tie down strap. Got hit in the face once with the strap latch when I released it. Learned to wrap it around a few times, and the friction where it crosses over itself slows down the recoil when it is released. Those tires are so small and wide that it makes it harder than a car tire, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Small tractor tires are really tough, I agree. ATV tires which have a double bead are the worst for removing, not as bad when setting bead. Sometimes removing the valve stem internals gives better flow for pushing bead in place. Tire shops often do it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
