Tires Flat Tire...Now what?

[AlabamaFarmer]

I've got a flat front tire on my 1533. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I tried to air it up with my little compressor but the tire won't hold air. it's come off the rim. What size are the lugs? I guess I'll take it off and get it fixed.

Got a flat tire a couple weeks ago on my GC2300 (front right). Had my dealer fill both front tires with foam. It adds weight and there are no worries of flat tires again.

Cost ~$130 to do both tires. If I would have had all 4 done at the same time, the price per tire would have been less due to setup.

I have had my front tires foam fill for about one year now
and no more flats I like them

You will more than likely need to get it up off of the ground. If you have a loader it is easy, if not get a jack.

Get the tire off the ground.
Wrap a tie down strap around it then shoot the air to it .
Beed should pop out to the rim and seal off.

The first thing to do is step
#1 jack it up so you can spin the tire freely then
#2 put some dish soap on the bead and rim lip
#3 Wrap a tie down strap around it and then
#4 shoot the air into it . like poster LBrown59 said after that it should be back on the rim .

PS the soap trick I learned from my dad who was a tire man and for best results you need a air compressor with tank not those little 12 volt air compressor . they might work but it will take a while with them along with cussing /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
