I don't normally carry those but maybe throw some in the tool box. Seriously though if this happens to you, take a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire and suck it down. It will flare the part of the tire that seats on the beads enough that you can then air it up. 1 1

Strap that tire down with a ratchet strap. The best way to seat a beadlock rim. Been there... done that... it works! Edited February 15, 2019 by Dan

It will flare the part of the tire that seats on the beads enough that you can then air it up. I use two straps seems to work a little better for me. But the rachet strap method works perfectly *update* so you know... I actually got these delivered to the local motel/rv park and did 5 of them from the gate. Installed valve stem and all.... A little soapy water, a 12v pump, and two rachet straps.. A little wiggle/jiggle and they were holding air.... took off straps and let them go..... pop.... not POP!!!! Like a tire shop... so I ran them at 35 for a day to set the bead nicely.... then down to 12/15. They are DOT tires and it's only muddy here now.... Edited May 11, 2020 by A hunt 2 remember Update...
