thats bad ass. dont u just spray lighter fluid around the wheel and light it. or something like that?

BLUCRUZ · « **Reply #2 on:** Jul 01, 2004, 09:56:20 PM »

yea, then air it up quick cause the fire inside the tire will suck it back off the wheel

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #3 on:** Jul 01, 2004, 10:28:29 PM »

sweet. im gonna put some light fluid in my truck!

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #4 on:** Jul 01, 2004, 10:29:16 PM »

wait im not sure where exactly u put it on the wheel though?

just about anything out of an aerosol can that burns quick! My fave is starting fluid. BE CAREFUL USING THIS METHOD!! I've heard a lot of stories about trucks on fire and what not because the people weren't careful. I suggest taking the tire/wheel off the vehicle so it's not close to anything flammable. don't need too much fluid in there, just a few sprays inside the tire and light a match, throw it in, and bam, reseated bead. the heat from reseating the tire will contract after expanding so you usually have to put some more air in the tire after.

Cool pic Blu!

Nice pic Blucurz

I use ether ( I think thats how you spell it ) because its highly flamable but doesent burn as long. I find that a ratchet strap around the tire with a few cranks makes it easier , then just spray the the ether around the bead and light the spray on the can so you just have to pas it by the tire. Sure beats trying to get in there close enough with a liter or a match

...wow sucks for you guys....good thing I have beadlocks...wait no I dont Hey when I go wheeling I air down to around 20 psi not much but just enough for the sidewalls to get in there...I was woundering whats the lowest I could go with out popping a bead?

i always air down to 15psi. prism goes to 12psi. no beadlocks. then go drive it to the nearest gas station for air, its a blast!

SWAMPER · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 02, 2004, 01:42:21 PM »

Thanks, I heard that you shoulnt air radials down too much....I forgot why though

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 02, 2004, 02:03:57 PM »

what do u mean by radials. i have bfg muds. are those considered radials? really dumb question

SWAMPER · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 02, 2004, 02:07:49 PM »

More than likely if your asking...you have radials....its the steel belted thingy...I think its not good to air down a lot because it distorts the steel belt and thats not good...I think :headscrath:

yotaboy79 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 02, 2004, 06:49:35 PM »

thats bull $hit

maybey thats wy my tires are so messed up

no i usualy air down to about 8 to 10 psi only lost a bead once

Bazzi · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 02, 2004, 07:09:20 PM »

U can use start spray. just 4-5 quick rounds insite the tire whait 2-3 secs and light it I usualy use a lighter and the spray can. It is better to remove all cabs from the wheel so all the extra air will be able to excabe the tire without damaging anything. You can allso us co2 to inflate it but then U may have to lift the tire up,

when I am driving in snow I go as low as 1,5 psi but the reason for not to take to much air out of the tires is that when there is not enough air in them they will overheat so if you are driving in snow it should be ok but not on high way, that is the reason for everyone has a air pump in theyr cars.

Belife me I know this stuff.

brainlessfool · « **Reply #17 on:** Jul 02, 2004, 07:12:17 PM »
