One thing that i always do is only put about 50 to 70 # in the new tire and then install the rim on the truck then finsh airing up the tire to 100# or what ever the reqirerment is that way if something were to blow the rim isnt going anywhere .
If it is going to blow it will be way before 50# is reached. Really ought to be in a cage from the start. But I will admit I don't have one. I put just enough air in to hold it on the rim. Maybe 5# then roll it outside the shop and lay it down. I clip the air hose on then go back inside until I think it is close to aired up. Really scares me. Had a guy that was in my class nearly got killed mounting a pivot tire. He had just started filling it when it blew. |
How difficult to change semi steer tire myself?
