having a problem with the fronts . can't get the inner bead to seat completely . tire says only inflate to 15 psi max when seating bead . have done that and used WD-40 to help lubricate the tire and wheel so the tire would seat . still not seating completely . ....... any suggestions .

try airing them up and bouncing them on the ground like a basket ball

Yeah what he said above and...

It works best if you remove the valve stem core
then have a powerful enough compressor to pump
MORE than 15 psi. I know it says not to but you
have to do a few to see it rarely works with that
little psi.

Removing the core makes sure that the air goes IN
fast and comes OUT fast as well.

Good Luck,

When I say more than 15psi I mean like 25 to 30psi. Did you try
that. Thats how much it took to seat my front hipers before I started
doing it the way I descibed above.

Again, Good Luck and becareful too,

He said he is having problem with the "fronts", which would be 10-inch wheels.

Yamaha72 · September 27, 2005, 08:59:18 PM

I know, just trying to help out............... isn't this is what this website is for...

310R_Dude · September 27, 2005, 09:44:34 PM

Yes it is.

But he has a specific problem he's dealing with, not just a problem
in general with hiper wheels. So going to the website and checking
out problems for 9-inch wheels is a waste of his time.

I didn't mean to come off wrong. Sorry if you took it that way.

Were you able to get your tires mounted?

nATiVcracker · September 30, 2005, 08:36:43 PM

hey thanks for the responses . tires mount easy . i just couldnt get the fronts to seat all the way on the inner ring . used wd40 a little better than before . will try using 25psi to 30 psi . to complete the seat . i have got a few hours on them like they are know without problems . but i'd feel better if they were totally seated . trust me they aint going no where, tire just isn't as wide as it could be . but then again i'm pretty nit picky.
