tyintegra on July 5, 2025 5:10 am Start by pumping it up to 40 PSI. This should cause the rest of the bead to pop into place.
Born_Establishment14 on July 5, 2025 5:18 am sometimes Dawn dishwashing liquid and water sprayed onto the bead before airing up will help it snap into place. sometimes you gotta break out the PTS-1
IcedXeno on July 5, 2025 5:27 am Use an air compressor until you hear the popping stop, thats your tire seating
Terrasmak on July 5, 2025 6:10 am Add air , all the way till seated. I’ve have to put in over 70 on some tires and over 115 on bmx tires

Are you sure your rim can handle such size of tires?
