I had the same problem at first when I put new tyres on my motorcycle. The combustion was great, but the effect was nought. I finally figured you have to aim the spray through the gap between the rim and the tyre. The spray has to be inside the tyre not on its outside flanks. It worked a treat after that. Hint: if you take the valve out beforehand you don't need to attach the tyre to a compressor. You can actually hear the air being sucked in after a successful combustion.
I had some bad experiences with this method so I finally bit the bullet and bought a 5-gallon bead seater blaster, that thing seats a bead like nobody's business.
Honestly. That’s all we got and we set any bead we need to do in our shop from semi to even lawnmowers that won’t seat with a quick blast of air from the tire machine.
Once you failed the first attempt with the second tire, you needed to flush the smoke out of it with a blow gun since the air from the valve stem wasn't even getting into the tire. You have to have some fresh air inside with the ether for it to burn. Smoke won't work.
@@jeremybreeden4228 I certainly hope they do. They fill tires with nitrogen these days to cut back on oxidization but the fumes from the explosion would probably ADD to it.
If you put a ratchet strap around the tire and tighten it, the bead will come close to the rim. Always remove the valve core and do not hook up a hose to the rim. Sometimes you can use an air nozzle to force the tire onto the bead if it has contact with the rim. You were spraying way too much ether in the tire. A one second burst is enough, any more than that an the results might not be what you expected.

@@thomasconway499 Yup, we have those split rims on certain models of aircraft some with tubes and some tubeless. I always kept the stories I heard about split rims in my mind when I would have to take them apart, that said I never had a issue. I really wonder how dangerous could it really be, let’s say someone f**ked up and started to take apart one fully pressurized, wouldn’t the rim pop the seal before all the bolts were all the way out? It would certainly make you deaf and need clean underwear but I don’t imagine someone would get all the hardware out before the air/nitrogen escaped, no? If they did somehow some way.... ouch! Lots of red paste to clean!
I did a set of tires over the weekend. This is how I always seat the beads. I had a partial can of Pyroil starting fluid. I used it on the first 3 tires and it worked 1st time on each. The can was empty for the 4th tire so I used Supertech starting fluid. A can and a half later and many attempts I finally got it. It seemed like it didn't have the super fast flash burn of the pyroil.
I have been putting tires on rims for 50 years by hand and only tried this once, and then I couldn't get it to work. Majority of the time I use a hand tire pump to get them seated and inflated. In my book this is the ' wuss ' way.
Tractor tires, especially lawn tractors, tires are delivered deformed and often require a tube even though they are designed to be tubeless. This is a great way to get them done vs paying $20-30 tire at a shop. Which is almost the cost of a tire. Not to mention anyone who's tried to replace a tire in the winter knows its neigh on impossible if the tire isn't in perfect round. When you need a tire on NOW, and not a day or two later, this is worth considering as long as you're not the average dummy.
ive been having trouble with almost seated tires. ive lost two can straws in the tire. i think i spray too much and there’s not enough air to let it explode. i push on the tire to get my straw in and do a few sprays around it. it ignites, but won’t explode. works like a charm when it does though. maybe ill stand on it or something. i was using mass air flow sensor spray and brake cleaner.
I wouldn’t stand on it, if it’s exploded while u r on top of it it will have enough force to hurt u and lift I off the ground, people have been killed when the whole wheel pops off the ground and hit them in the face and nose. Iv never tried this method but Iv seen people say when they have trouble like u do kick the side wall I slightly or hit it with a small hammer to force into it through the gaps to feed it the air I talking about. But if u do use the hammer watch out it will smack it back at u if the bead sets fast sending it to u
I have done probably well over 1000. When the tire is so far away from that outer bead it cannot contain the fire. Set some blocks underneath to split the difference in gap. Then anytime it does not go you must air out inside of the tire of all the burnt gasses. Watch your video you spray way too much onto the sidewall of the tire also. I only spray about halfway around completely within the rim . I like your way of lighting.
Thanks for sharing this video. It works great without the air and I removed valve and sprayed inside tire and put torch tip inside tire to ignite it. Kaboom !
you have to get the Starter Fluid inside the tire and set tire so gap is smaller.... And make sure the fire is out before respraying starter fluid... burnt my eyebrows off a few times as a kid doing Dads big truck tires ;)
@@compa_choo Right On :) welcome to the club..... next step is Losing your eye brows to gas on a camp fire... Lighting Propane or natural gas burners... Playing with Black Powder.... All's fun just Drop N Roll
You can get them screwed, glued or tatooed back on. You could also pencil them back in. Do it right though, otherwise people will comment on your demeanor.
Yeah I had a spare tire do this to me. I ended up having to spray starter fluid in it and light it on fire with a cigarette lighter. Jesus did I spray too much. It exploded and my ears were ringing. But at least I was able to get back home safely in the morning.
You can still do them without explosives. You might need air compressor for those but you get one side pushed on as good as you can with your foot stepping on it then stand it up carefully , apply air and gently push the rim to get other side of tire to contact rim without it coming off the side you got bead stuck on. It may take a few tries. Helps if you have another person to apply air.
You should have left the valve core out, and the air hose off. The 2nd tire needed to have both beads close to the rim edge to seat with the fire. After bead pops on, and fumes are out of tire, install valve core and inflate.
Many times you can just put a heavy duty car ratchet strap around the tire and after a couple of clicks it will bow the bead out to make enough contact with the rim that you can just use air (no starting fluid) to initially get it to take. Just make sure that as soon as the air stops leaking between the rim and tire that you stop and then loosen the strap. This way it doesn't break and get ya. Then you can continue to fill and if you wd-40 the bead on the tire and rim then usually by the time you hit 40 psi or so it will pop on in my experience. I have used the starter fluid trick before but its definitely a bit dangerous. Especially if you have to hit it with a sledge to pop and the explosion transfers some energy back into the sledge.
Deja lo divertido es peligroso no sabes como explotara yo me dedico a reparar llantas y e visto muchas veces a colegas fallar y tener accidentes solo tener precaución saludos
Support the wheel with a block so the tire drops down on the inner bead. That will direct the explosion upward. Until the o2 is depleted. Lying a wheel on a flat surface is unsafe.
Use to do that all the time. Be ready and if it just burns kick the tire the surge of air will make it explode. The tire bead is below the stem not circulating the air to combust. Worked for me, we cannot do that anymore against company policy!
Instead of this extremely dangerous method.....and you are using about 10 times the amount of starting fluid at that, try putting a ratchet strap around the diameter of the tire and crank it down. That will bring the bead right up to the rim, so you need no explosion at all, just air pressure. If you can't get the bead close enough and need the explosion, use a tiny bit of starter fluid, in the gap.
Not really! It took him 4 tries to figure that he needs to spray inside(!) the tire. ...tbh, I don't think he figured it out, he just got lucky without understandingthe concept. Or why would he try it so many times the exact same way but expecting a different result.
Correct, sir. The ' fuel ' must of necessity, be INSIDE the tire - and rim for this method to ' werk '...er work. Good, job. i know a mechanic, uses propane.....i don't .......yet. What're you using ? WD 40 or something else ?....
here I am using "starer fluid of your choice" however, last time I had trouble setting a tire on a wide rim I put that mega unused "MAP sensor cleaner" to use. it worked good an I don't think it is as harsh to the rubber. WD may be even better. thanks n safety first LOL
Yes there are safer ways but for small go kart tires ratchet straps don't always work. Small 12in or less tires the strap method doesn't work. This method worked first time all 4 tires just fine. I spent 2 hours trying to get 1 tire with a ratchet strap before I got fed up and brave enough to try this. This will always be my go to method now.
Yeah I been doing that trick for years on my endump trailer only when it’s emergency and it blew up in my face because I usually light it with a lighter kind of being in a hurry and careless you can say and lost 50% of my facial hair. It can be dangerous..!
When your on the job site you don’t have time to call someone to do it for you..! You have to do what you have to do to keep that money rolling in biatch..!
I use 1/4 cup gasoline on my hd fatboy tires its enough to seat the bead doesn't cause a vacuume because not enough fuel to keep burning the oxygen in the tire This is the easiest way without buying equipment I first seen it done on a monster truck tire they had to use a lot of fuel
Second tire burned up oxygen is why wouldn't seat after first try. If first try unsuccessful, press tire with your foot all the way around and release, then try again.
Eeeh... wrong!! The guy is obviously sharper than you are lol. Did you not see him hook up the compressor hose? Are you deaf and missed the compressor running too? He was pumping air straight into the tire without the valve core at least half the video lol. You thought you were clever and figured out the issue only to find out you're really the school dunce 😂😂 I bet you feel real clever now huh lol? Dont get butthurt though k. It was just a rush to judgement on your part... happens to the best of us.
Can of starting fluid and a BBQ Grill lighter... Do not ever ever do this on a truck tire with a snap ring the snap ring will leave that dump truck rim at about 100 miles per hour... My friend died that way, the snap ring hit him in the head and lodged itself into the 14ft ceiling
I burnt my mobile home to the ground doing this 5 yrs ago,the insulation on the skirting caught fire and I was in my pole barn when all of a sudden I hear fire trucks pulling up!

I tried this and my tire completely exploded. It was an explosion. I'm pretty sure it's possible for the fire to get sucked back into the air compressor...
I think it wasn't working because the air/fuel mixture wasnt explosive enough until the last try on the last tire. Id try different numbers of spritzes and see if I could find a consistent number that worked. Or even a consistent number of seconds to hold the spray button down.
If you can get the tire on the rim by yourself.. just put it in the car and take it to a damn local tire shop. They will probably do that shit for free the safe way and it takes them 2 seconds.
@@marshapelo9830 yes they will. Did it for me, it's just air .. obviously don't take 4 tires expecting full service but just 1 and they probably will like they did mine. I even offered to pay but they didn't want anything
Yeah, uh, don't spray the ether ON the tire bead, especially several times. You burn a puddle of ether on a bead several times like this and - bead failure and boom.
Put the air on first before igniting it. Then after the tire has sufficient air in it let some back out then fill to appropriate level. I've had truck tires explode and do some serious damage by not doing that procedure.
Currently having tyre no 2s problem with cans of deodorant and carb cleaner. She just won't go and I want to keep my eyebrows and beard. Already baldy up to the elbows.
look at the gap from tire to rim... if you can close that gap somehow then using air is no problem.. this method using combustion to seat the bead is way more common than you would think..
Making this way harder than it is. Way to much spray each time. He is spraying the bead, it needs to be in the tire. It shouldn't burn to the point it deforms the tire. The tire should be up about 2" higher sitting on 2x4s so it is closer to the bead area. Spray inside the tire for about 1 second, then continue spray line outside on to tire edge and light it like it's a wick with a lighter. Very easy, not much flame, a poof and it's on. It should never deform the tire. As soon as it pops on bead, blow out any remaining fire and fill.
When your playing with fire.. Like the guy.. just keep trying. Its my warning do search to see just how dangerous this is . Not from fire blowing up the tire By using to much. 18 wheeler tires has a steal band That blew off killed few people Dont get me wrong . ITS DANGEROUS. EVEN WITH ANY TIRE.. Yes, I've tried it on small tire. Took about 5 trying on hand truck or dollies Starting fluid to much it will blow up. Count on it..
This is a proper way to do it just not the way it’s being done here. 1. Way too much starter fluid 2. You need a 4lb sledgehammer So you only the fluid about half the tire light it most of the time it’ll just pop on if not hit the tire with the hammer works every time never messed up a tire this doing as mentioned
This was OK when tires had 3-4 sidewall plies now it's 2 in most. Too much ether can damage them and cause failure. I've used ether in the past but not on today's rubber bands they call tires.
I haven't heard a single word in the comments yet. Your comment is #1 because it is what logical people know and think. Some meaning alot sadly didn't get it or never got it at all. I do commend all those souls out there still making an attempt to get it! Cheers.

Good idea to take the valve off 👍

This is by far the safest method for mounting a tire on a rim! One tip, try to be as close to the tire as possible at all times for best results.
I don’t know about safest but it’s one way to do it but a bead blaster will do the same but with no fire needed.
😂😂
You forgot to remind people to keep their fingers in between the bead and the rim to ensure it has seated fully. Gotta be safe ya know...
Lol you guys are crazy
It works best if you put your face on the rim.🤕
I did a set of tires over the weekend. This is how I always seat the beads. I had a partial can of Pyroil starting fluid. I used it on the first 3 tires and it worked 1st time on each. The can was empty for the 4th tire so I used Supertech starting fluid. A can and a half later and many attempts I finally got it.

Leave the air hose connected and flowing. Spray the fluid INSIDE the tire near the valve.
Title should be "Tire expansion bead seating". Should have sprayed INSIDE the tire. Flames means you did it wrong.
Oh look the billionth video of this trick.
It's safer to do it with compressed air alone. I've never seen or done this swith fire and I've seated plenty of tires.
You must get the propellant into the tire ....This shows how much was sprayed onto the outside of the tire ...
I always did it with the air chuck on while lighting, seemed to spread it around better. This was always on tractor trailer tires too

You'll melt the tire before you seat it bud!😊
this is gonna work, next try for sure 😆
May I ask why applied this method of fire ....reduces slippages.... REDUCES flaps...????
narrower tire onto a wider rim, many refer to this as tire stretching
In that case use a strap around the tire.

It was just a rush to judgement on your part... happens to the best of us.
@@andrewlightbody4221 that’s really sad you wrote that man
@@jackw7620 and here is an example of the school bull
Get a ratchet strap to squeeze the tire, it will save your eye brows and maybe your life.
that's what i do. thought I invented it. Used it today for four wheeler tires
@@timothylongmore7325 Timothy its an old tyre fitters trick.
So he kept spraying the stuff on the outside. You need a space to spray the fluid in.
Didn't spray INSIDE the tire cavity. Use the red straw that comes with the can to spray inside.
Can of starting fluid and a BBQ Grill lighter... Do not ever ever do this on a truck tire with a snap ring the snap ring will leave that dump truck rim at about 100 miles per hour... My friend died that way, the snap ring hit him in the head and lodged itself into the 14ft ceiling
R.I.P
Thank you for th tip ad sorry for your lost
Split rim tires are known for that!
Rip :(
@@icelineman yea; splits are whole different ball game; most places require a cage now.
I burnt my mobile home to the ground doing this 5 yrs ago,the insulation on the skirting caught fire and I was in my pole barn when all of a sudden I hear fire trucks pulling up!
De haber levantado un poco el hombro del neumático desde el suelo , hubieso ayudado a acercar más la pestaña del neumático a la llanta!!..y así se evitaría recalentar innecesariamente 4 veces el caucho....mi opinión desde la ventana de la humildad y el respeto!
Saludos desde Lican Ray novena región de Chile
hola tenes idea que es el aerosol con el que rocea el interior de la llanta? hoy quisieron en la gomeria poner unas 205 65 15 dentro de una llanta 15x10 y no pudieron...tenes idea si se puede?
What about putting the either inside the damn tire instead of spraying it all over the side wall
Ikr
Rookie mistake trying to be RUclips cool, literally melted the tire
Is this guy kinda not doing it right because it didn't look "normal" to me? Or is this spot on??
Gas or brake cleaner works better. Also if you actually get it inside the tire to conceal your explosion
Well I was expecting a tyre to blow up. Lmao 😅
Ether: The most abused chemical in a can on the planet.
your definition of explosion is different than mine
The biggest problem I have is not putting enough gas or starting fluid in the first time or two.
I tried this and my tire completely exploded. It was an explosion. I'm pretty sure it's possible for the fire to get sucked back into the air compressor...
I do this all day long at work with truck & tractor tires
what is this spray ?
@@eizot68 starting fluid. Just dont spray too much. Start with the smallest amounts. It is VERY DANGEROUS.
@@tylerkempfer750 thank you bro !
how easy it is to use an 8" pipe to fill the hole
amazing,thankz for idea 👍👍👍
Las llantas estan mojadas y debe ser un clama frio por eso la llanta implosiona en cuanto explota y se apaga el fuego
Is it safety to drive it with this method too strached the tire
I think it wasn't working because the air/fuel mixture wasnt explosive enough until the last try on the last tire. Id try different numbers of spritzes and see if I could find a consistent number that worked. Or even a consistent number of seconds to hold the spray button down.
If you can get the tire on the rim by yourself.. just put it in the car and take it to a damn local tire shop. They will probably do that shit for free the safe way and it takes them 2 seconds.
No tire shop will do it for free.
@@marshapelo9830 yes they will. Did it for me, it's just air .. obviously don't take 4 tires expecting full service but just 1 and they probably will like they did mine. I even offered to pay but they didn't want anything
That many times?
can this be done With a alcohol
Maybe if he didn't waste half the can spraying on the sidewall and more inside also what's with those little spurts
Premature sidewall failure...
the rims are little too wide for the tires.no wonder you had to go to extremes to get them to bead.
That was so cool 😂😂😂
Yeah, uh, don't spray the ether ON the tire bead, especially several times. You burn a puddle of ether on a bead several times like this and - bead failure and boom.
Put the air on first before igniting it. Then after the tire has sufficient air in it let some back out then fill to appropriate level. I've had truck tires explode and do some serious damage by not doing that procedure.
Currently having tyre no 2s problem with cans of deodorant and carb cleaner. She just won't go and I want to keep my eyebrows and beard. Already baldy up to the elbows.
Is this good for you tire?
Yes
Why Certainly! Melting the rubber is perfectly fine! 😂
80% of the time, it works every time.
Obviously his 1st attempt at this
Is it really that hard to just let the air pop em on there correctly?
No u cant do that there is beads in it
look at the gap from tire to rim... if you can close that gap somehow then using air is no problem.. this method using combustion to seat the bead is way more common than you would think..
Making this way harder than it is. Way to much spray each time. He is spraying the bead, it needs to be in the tire. It shouldn't burn to the point it deforms the tire. The tire should be up about 2" higher sitting on 2x4s so it is closer to the bead area. Spray inside the tire for about 1 second, then continue spray line outside on to tire edge and light it like it's a wick with a lighter. Very easy, not much flame, a poof and it's on. It should never deform the tire. As soon as it pops on bead, blow out any remaining fire and fill.
What kind of spay could be used here? Could you used the
Long-neck butane lighter here?
You have to spray it inside the tire...not on the sidewall!
When your playing with fire..
Like the guy.. just keep trying.
Its my warning do search to see just how dangerous this is .
Not from fire blowing up the tire
By using to much.
18 wheeler tires has a steal band
That blew off killed few people
Dont get me wrong .
ITS DANGEROUS.
EVEN WITH ANY TIRE..
Yes, I've tried it on small tire.
Took about 5 trying on hand truck or dollies
Starting fluid to much it will blow up. Count on it..
Tires that actually fit the rims would have been much better. Those tires are obviously made for a rim half that width
Not a tire guy but it seems the tires are destroyed now blow out
This is a proper way to do it just not the way it’s being done here.
1. Way too much starter fluid
2. You need a 4lb sledgehammer
So you only the fluid about half the tire light it most of the time it’ll just pop on if not hit the tire with the hammer works every time never messed up a tire this doing as mentioned
Much better tire bead bazooka
Very nice!! thank you very much my friend!!!
Good Lord do NOT do this! My late father's friend ended up with a nail in his head doing this!
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
No tire was harmed in the making of this video
This was OK when tires had 3-4 sidewall plies now it's 2 in most. Too much ether can damage them and cause failure. I've used ether in the past but not on today's rubber bands they call tires.
I never pay to mount and balance my tire. I legit do this 1 to 2 times ever month or 2. Burn up alot of off road tires and atv tires.
Do you have to balance your tires if your mainly going off roading with them?
What was the accelerant that you were using? Is it Starter fluid? or something else?
Bradex easy start..
Tractor tires and butane is way more fun
Has anyone address the fact that the tires still need balance
I haven't heard a single word in the comments yet. Your comment is #1 because it is what logical people know and think. Some meaning alot sadly didn't get it or never got it at all. I do commend all those souls out there still making an attempt to get it! Cheers.
Using fire 🔥 will void any tire warranty, you have to use an air tank
New meaning of "burning rubber".
Took you enough times to get it done. You should have kicked the damn tire after you set it a blaze
I hit them with a sledge, I'm chicken 🐔
Wondering if DISCOUNT TIRE WOULD DO THAT??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spray in there deeper got to be close fuel inside not outside
I’d be pissed if this was my new tire lol!!
Rather have a tire shop mount the rim it's much easier
