Default Tire questions for the Windsor Ford Boys....

Bonjour Mike

I am just about ready to mount the new 10:50 tires on clean rims.... sandblasted and painted in POR..... rim nuts are being cleaned up.....

We did a very preliminary trial fit then gave up.....

The new tires are very tight..... how tight....well that's why I am asking you guys. I have the option of going tothe tire shop....pay the fiddler and bring them back home all done...... but being sadistic we would like to do it ourselves.

Now our first try we did not use any water.soap lubricant..... tire bead stuck very early to the rim.....

Do you have any wisdom to share on how to fore them on far enough to get the long rim bolts to thread....... did you press the tires on the rim ?

I have been thinking of designing and building a 20 ton jack powered device to push the tires in place....... not very keen on using only air pressure when we have only two bolts in place.....

We have even considered having a glass of red wine available for inspiration...

Awaiting your advice......

Boob
