Thats nice, make a bomb will your at it! Not to mention petrolium products destroy rubber unless it is Viton, Buna or Neoprene. Rednecks!

tires not wide enough for that rim. but as far as mounting it with starting fluid, i've done it. its scary at first, but after you do it a few times its not that intimidating.

i wouldn't really call that mounting a tire. all he did was seat the bead. it works well with trying to strech a tire on a wheel.

i've seen that done before but on a much larger tire

Honduh · 05-23-2007, 10:45 PM

yeah it works well on truck tires. i had a bitch of a time getting a beat to set on a 18inch wheel last week.

We had to do this to alot of the heavy duty truck tires when I worked for GMC. The service manager always hated when we did it because it was so loud and customers would complain. It didnt help we loaded them with starting fluid. I mean half the can at times.

it works..weve done it at work when out tire machine was out of service...we use gum cutter or a little bit of gas. hahaha some guy got his face blown appart doing that in another store though so we bassicaly only use it when where desperate
