Quote: BarnyardEngineering (quoted from post at 19:13:34 02/10/23) [quote="CVPost-rustred"](quoted from post at 15:57:32 02/10/23) Dont you ever head to town for groceries ? Throw them
in the truck and problem solved. You need that Murphy
soap and big air blast. Come home without a 26 and u be
even. Airing up through an air chuck is not the same deal
as an air blast from a tire machine.
No tire shops in town. Seriously. None. It's 25 miles one way to get to any sort of tire shop. They'll gladly pump up my tires but they will charge me a full mounting service charge even if the tire is on the rim, $20 per tire.
I'm just a bit frustrated with the advice of propping the tire open with blocking to stretch the beads out and how easy it would be to mount after I did that. Well, I did that and the tire collapsed back to its original pre-stretch shape the moment it touched the rim. So what's the secret?[/quote]
If the tires were stored in a warehouse stacked for very long, they will take a pretty good set that won't give up easily. Stretch them open as wide as you can. I would try to stretch a 9.5 at least a foot and leave it stood up in the sun for at least a day. More direct heat like in full sun or in front of a salamander for a while, will do more than just being in a warm place. Putting a tube in the unmounted tire and inflating it is a good way to open them up and hold them spread, better than using blocks between the beads, I think. I usually have a couple old, patched tubes around to use for this. And it is easier to do as you don't have to hold the beads spread to insert blocks.
If the beads are collapsed from stacking, a ratchet strap won't help much. If one of the beads is on the outer flange area and the other is close to its flange, a ratchet strap in the center of the tread area will often help.
While it won't help spread the beads, having a small pail of Murphy's, Frey Lube, Tire Stuff, etc. for a real bead lube helps with mounting. 8-10 lb. pail goes a long time.
Just saw your picture. How wide are the rims? I think 8" is recommended for 9.5 tires. wider rims will increase your bead seating problems.
