Hello,

I'm having some trouble, and I'm hoping you guys have an answer. I have some lenso VPD's and M&H 22x8x13's. I got one mounted fine, but the other one's front bead will not pop! It will go 3/4 the way around, and then just start pushing out the sidewall. I only go up to 30 psi tops. I tried spraying on soapy water, but it didn't work. I must have struggled with this one for 3 hours! I tried flipping the tire, as well. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

bump up the pressure a bit more, and try hitting near the bead with a rubber mallet while u have it pressurized.

i had a bitch of a time getting my et drags to seat, 22x8x15 on a stock 5.5" wide rim, hehe

 

Thanks, I tried whacking it with a dead blow, no luck. Tried soaping again, no go. Tried 35 psi, no go. I remember my 22x8x15's on 6" wheels was a pain, but they both popped on. And I got one to go, so I don't know.

What I noticed is that it gets to a point where the tire stops riding upwards, and just starts expanding the sidewall. I figured with 35 psi and all that soapy water, it would pop in by the time I hit 15 psi! I guess I can just keep trying.

 

yeah, i gave up and just put like 80psi in there, and hit it with the mallet, probably a bad idea, but i was like to the point i didnt care.

but i did look away incase it popped,
