Been about 6 years since I worked in a tire shop. This was the perfect refresher for one or two of the simple things I forgot on commercial. Thanks for the video
This sure does bring back some good and bad memory's. I worked in a trailer shop for CKC truck lines from 1971 to 77. We worked on everything from lights to brakes. I wish I had a dollar for every tire I broke down. The bud wheels, like the one your doing wasn't to bad, the ones I dreaded doing were the two piece split rims. I saw one guy get the hell knocked out of him because he didn't place the tire inside the steel cage. If you had enough air pressure in the tire and one of those rings came off it could rip your arm or head right off. This particular type of wheel was never a problem while airing up. That was a great demonstration buddy and thanks for the memory's.
I believe they have banned the split rims as of now.. I see a " few" but they're extremely special customers with older equipment, or older type campers / trailers
I see split rims every now and again, from the ports, nothing to mess around with, 25 yrs doing tires, embarrassed to say that I've blown up fours tires throughout, I've always used the cage or bolted the tire back on and finished airing it up. Safety first 👍🏽

Thanks a million for this video just started my career with farm and commercial tire repair business in my town I'll be studying this to help me advance my skills!!
This is one of the most underrated jobs on trucks. Tires beat the dog sont out of me at 48 yrs old. If I wasn’t so cheap, I would gladly pay someone to do these jobs.
I like that high flow air fitting would save a ton of time have to get one of those! I find the Chinese tires a lot tougher the side walls dont flex much at all and can be a bit of a fight, nice vid!!
Great instruction tat Express greetings from the United states virgin islands in the carribbean us territory st.thomas I am a new subscriber to your channel and your videos are very helpful and educational I am a journeyman heavy Equipment mechanic with nine years of heavy duty trucks and earthmoving Equipment experience my dad was a diesel technician he passed away last year so I found your channel and it is helping me a lot thanks for the great content God bless
Nice job only 👏 (2) issues I have is leaned the tire up break first bead, then drop and 2nd bead of course you only have to flip the tire 1time then also never used a hammer to tap that wheel when mounting back especially a aluminum wheel used your bar to mount any 1 that's learning that from this Channel from my 27yrs of experience but from what I see you good and always have some soap in a plastic jug to spray on both sides I never seen applied any bead lubricant when demounting but you good just changed some of your techniques other inexperienced individuals are watching
Dude you are awesome and I love your videos!! But I did a 235/75R17.5 18 ply blade runner tire on aluminum rims last night that was the absolute hardest tire I've ever done!!! I know there has to be a special little trick to it and it would be AWESOME to see you make a video of it!!!!
What’s also a good idea after remount don’t refill put about 60 psi check for leaks with soap and water then remount to truck or trailer and then finish putting air not sure why me and our dad do it that way but never used tire cages and gotten really blessed and lucky nothing has ever happened.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing. I applied at a truck tire shop removing and replacing tires. Is this a dangerous job? Whats a good training starting wage ? Thanks
Loved the video just wish you would of gotten closer and should what fittings you were putting on and taking off once you was putting air back into the tire
It's called a quick air. It screws on the stem and you can air the tire up alot quicker. After he was putting the core into the valve stem to stop it from coming out
Air tire in a horizontal position on 5 gallon bucket , the weight of the wheel in a vertical position does not properly seat . Air tire to 5psi , install on unit than complete fill using a 6 foot air line . Milton air products manufacture a combination tire deflater and valve core remover. Also make a screw on air inflater. Tool Discounter has them online reasonably priced ,buy 10 packs. Good Video!
You need to do a demonstration on them super singles (SS) lol Their no joke. My body weight isn’t enough so I use a vice grip to prevent the bead from piping out while I work the other side with the iron/spoon. Tons of fun lol
@@marcofourie-me7te I’ve done that before when I did road side for TA. Fastest way to get done and off that interstate! Doing a steer tire is a real pain, better when you have someone holding the wheel and applying the brakes. I’ve always know it as skinning a tire but idk 🤷🏻♂️
as an trucker, i prefer the tire man to change my tires, it does not take much for a tire to explode in your face, the only time I touch it is when I'm mt or hauling lite, then I take off the blowout tire and limp to a truck stop, dot legal, just gotta be under a certain weight and not have any rubber on that rim, if do, DOT got you
My name is parmod Masih and I am from India and I work as a helper in a transport in Malaysia, I am used to puncturing tires and changing tires and servicing trucks.
Tire guy here, rolling like what he’s doing only really works if you have a brand new (otherwise called a virgin tire) on an aluminum rim like what he has, and you might be able to get virgin tires to self bead on a new painted steel rim/ repainted steel rim and possibly on a used rim depending on how rusted it is. Otherwise with a recapped tire or a used tire you will need a bead seater (otherwise called a blaster). In this video he has the rim mounting face towards him when the bead seats, when you have a wheel off the axle this is usually the side you blast but if you try to blast the bead a couple of times and it doesn’t seat, try blasting the side of the tire with the mounting face away from you and the tire should seat (this is more common to do in Asian made tires). It is also worth mentioning when you put the air chuck on the valve steam before you blast to listen to see how much air is flowing through the steam as some valve steams require the valve core in them to let air flow into the tire. This can also affect bead seating because if there isn’t enough flow going into the tire when you try to seat the bead the bead just won’t seat either.
Always use a tire cage when airing up used/recap tires. And never air up a tire to full capacity without a valve core in the stem, just to about 40 psi to seat the bead. I've been doing tires for 15 years. I've seen plenty of tires blow up and you can get mangled even when they are in a tire cage. No job is worth your life.
Continental is also good but between Michelin and Bridgestone as long as you got the tire in the right position steer/ traction/ trailer, and the right application they're both great
Hello from Vegas , really good videos , I have question , I’m about to open my road side assistance business here , what sizes and positions tires should I always show carry with me

I understand your video is for demonstration purposes, but always use a cage or bolt the tire back on and then finish airing it up, just so the new guy watching sees safety first. It's not a pretty sight to see a coworker with missing bloody fingers.

@@TATEXPRESSINC you're welcome and I agree one hundred percent
Good
Very cool brother. But aren't those tires supposed to be balanced? Is it a special liquid to seal the bead?
Also never hit the bead of the tire with the hammer. Use the tire spoon to put it on.
You should air up with wheel on 5 gal bucket
You forgot your safety glasses buddy
You make it look so easy 😩
Man i do this for a living as well but that was like a t.i.a class lol minus the quick fill
very good
My name is parmod Masih and I am from India and I work as a helper in a transport in Malaysia, I am used to puncturing tires and changing tires and servicing trucks.
useful explanation
You should always use a cage but also make sure the rim is true, but good job
idk what kind of baby semi ur working on but i be changing 315s and tires around that size and they about double the size of them
I have 32 to do tomorrow and have never done one before lol I'm sure you make this look easier than it actually is
It looks very simple in the video, is it actually this simple?
Shoulda done a demonstration with one that was hard. That's about the second easiest one I've ever seen.
Gracias por el video
Excellent demonstration! Thank you Q! Quick question though, do you need a bead seating tank just in case rolling the tire doesn't set the bead?

This can also affect bead seating because if there isn’t enough flow going into the tire when you try to seat the bead the bead just won’t seat either.
Amazing👍🏽
What size compressor are you using?
Súper bro
I try to find a video guiding change tyre ergonomically without awkward position. Any introduce?
Please tell me you have got better at changing tires and learned how to do it properly and how to use a cage
Thanks for watching Sean
He said in the video that he doesn’t have a cage. Make sure you listen next time you watch. But I do agree, he does need a cage.
Nice video. Do you have a pay number for the high flow adapter?
Nice Instructional video sir. Got a question; how much psi does the air compressor needs to have in order to get enough pressure to air the new tire?
The more, the better. But all you need is that 100psi spec. It'll just take longer that way
I need that air fitting lol
Fitting number you can search. Milton S-731. I want to know hose size. Is it 1/4?
Should always have a tire cage of some sort on your service truck.
Nice
What is the name of the thing that you screw in the valve
“Something with a longer shaft”
…that’s what she said 🤭
Dude never showed the hammer to break the bead
Hello, thanks for the video, I I wanted to ask where can I get myself one of those screw on valve stem air chuck? 👍🏼
Always use a tire cage when airing up used/recap tires. And never air up a tire to full capacity without a valve core in the stem, just to about 40 psi to seat the bead. I've been doing tires for 15 years. I've seen plenty of tires blow up and you can get mangled even when they are in a tire cage. No job is worth your life.
R.I.P. headphone users @ 0:12
Suggestion-Better to use something like a anti-fatigue foam mat instead of cardboard, could have sharp staples which could cause a small air leak.
What kind of fitting are you using in this video? Got some tires at our shop that I'm going to have to do solo
Hey brother ...ur videos r great....according to u which tyres are best among Michelin n Bridgestone ..specially for heavy duty trucks....plz reply
Michelin Bridgestone and good year are just about the nest money can buy you
Continental is also good but between Michelin and Bridgestone as long as you got the tire in the right position steer/ traction/ trailer, and the right application they're both great
Not using a tire cage? Wow ballsy bro.
Where can I purchase the high flow adapter would prefer with a 1/2 in male connection
