That&#8217;s a lot easier said than done. He ordered the tires on line and to facilitate shipment, the tires were folded and tied together to save space. The tires are tubeless and in order to air them up, we had to have the edge of the tire touch the rim to \u201cset the bead\u201d. Because the tires were so misshapened from being folded for shipment, we could not expand the tires enough to make a seal, although we worked over an hour trying.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sunlightbay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_20131027_134542_458.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-523\" alt=\"IMG_20131027_134542_458\" src=\"http:\/\/sunlightbay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_20131027_134542_458-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sunlightbay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_20131027_134542_458-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sunlightbay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_20131027_134542_458-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>So, we resorted to the Redneck method. For this method, you spray some flammable substance (we used carburetor cleaner) in the tire and light it. The little explosion that follows expands the tire enough to make a seal.
