Well....got my tires in yesterday and slid one side of em on because i forgot to get new stems. Today after a run to the local hardware store and picking up some stuff for the home, we realized while putting the new tires back in the truck that there were slices from a utility knife on both front tires. back to the shop they went and we got them exchanged. new fronts coming tuesday.
Rears- Mounted them pretty easily. this whole thing has dragged out relentlessly with the crap we've faced. i soaped the bead and we pumped air into the tires... filling them to recommended 15ib bead set pressure, or maybe a little more. after a while we got one side to pop but not the other. every time we would fill it up 3/4ths of the bead would go on and the other just wouldnt budge.
the same thing happened with the other rear tire as well. 3/4ths of the bead on each side poped on while a quarter just chilled and wouldnt budge.
Any opinions for tommorow? should i just drop them off at firestone and get it done in 20 seconds hopefully?
Any opinions appreciated.
