Had a flat on JD 70 rear tire, Got her broke free and off and patched tube. Put it back on, and having trouble getting bead to seat on rim. Now is the time to tell you that they are 15.5-38 tires on a rim that had 12 or 13 inch tires originally. Kinda pulls the sidewalls in a little bit. I soaped rim and tire up and put in 20 psi and it didn't seat all around, lacked about 2 1/2 to 3 ft from seating all the way around. Let air out and got more soap and little bit of water and pushed in bead and smeared it good. Aired back up to 25 psi and it's almost seated, lacks about 1 1/2 ft on each side a little thicker than a pencil from seating like it should. How much air pressure can I put in it without blowing up tube? Can't remember from last time I did this, but remember that I blew it up pretty tight and let it set for several days before it poped out. Yes, I know the tires are too big, but can't afford a new set right now, and when it seats, it'll do what I want it to. Any ideas on a better way to do this? Thanks in advance, Chris
If you hear a loud noise, it either blew up or seated itself.
