Not exactly about car, but I got a flat tire on my tractor and the tire came off the rim. The tire is still inside the rim, just not sealed onto the edge. I tried to put it back on by inflating it with the shut-off valve of the stem valve removed. But it's obviously leaking faster than the air can get in and the tire wouldn't seal the rim edge. Any tips how I can get the tire on?
Thanks for any help!
==================== Fix the flat first. I've seen this done with a belt or rope around the center of the tread pulled tight to push the sidewalls out.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.
Not for the faint of heart , at all, at all. Not to be tried *IF* you havent seen it done.
