Ill get alot of bad feedback, but personally Id put in some tubes.. If the tire comes unbeaded that quickly. I can imagine how it would act in the ''field' with side pressure..

I am considering tubes. Just afraid if I get a flat It's a big mess to change.

What is a true tire pump? I am using a compressor.

tubes are fine.. tubelss is fine. just get the tires seated.. over pressurize them a bit, then go at it again.

it's no big deal.. don't sweat any of this..

I give up. Tried everything. Wasted 5 gallons of fluid at least. Can't get the tires to seal. It's sitting on jack stands. Frustrated to all ****. Going to start drinking. :)

Here is your tire pump you ask about. I did a quick GOOGLE Search for Pictures and Info - Many companies make them, Ingersoll Rand - Ingersoll Rand Tire Fill System Special Application Pump | Wayfair.

I tend to shy away from showing because of Calcium usage. Do not use Calcium unless necessary - Yes it is HEAVIER than water. We use RV Antifreeze; No Alcohol, not harmful to environment if you do get a puncture.

a good ratchet strap will likely get that bead back seated. if it didn't.. I'd tube it in a hot second..

I have the tires inflated to 35 psi now. So no cheatah necessary. Soon as I let the air out it de-beeds. If I want ballast in the tires I will have to get tubes. :-(
