Anybody got a trick to seat the beads on a rim.  I tryed the ratchet strap around the tire trick but the sidewalls are too think and I'm scared to death to try the starting fluid and a match trick.  Any other way besides a tire shop.

I told my friend about the redneck way and it worked great for him.  It will be fine, just use a long extension when you light it. (he used a bic and was fine.)

You can use one of the tire tank things, but that costs $$

$370 for this

yeah the starter fluid and flame trick works great. were you there when i did it on marks rig when he poped a bead coming down from pancake rock during the BBQ. worked fine. just spray your self a little trail and light the trail.
