Reshaping Tyres?

<< < (2/2)

markyp:
i swear to god that a nos set of tioga comp 3's were out of shape,my wheels span fine before fittting but after they were well wobbly :shocked:

toys19:
in the old days when i used to fit motorcycle tyres by hand we always used soap, that way the bead seats properly, if I have a trouble some bike tyre I find that a bit of soapy water helps everything to go where it should ooeeerrrr missus

moley:
Pump em up and then deflate them to see where they go funny.

Then keep squishing the tyre to get the bead seated properly because they tend to leave a big bulge where they are out of shape.

Then keep pumping and squishing until they pump up correctly.

All tires are slightly out of whack anyway.   Even car tires have to be balanced.

So long as the bead is seated then they'll be fine!!  :daumenhoch:
