Mounting Nitto 555R Tires
So i went to my old shop that i used to work at to mount my new 275/40/17 Nitto 555R tires on my 17x10.5" wide cobra wheels. I already have these tires on those wheels, but they are bald so i bought new ones.
Well.... after an hour of stuggling and sweating, i can not get the new tires on the wheels. I mean they are ON...but i can't get them to seat when i blast the air into them to seat the beads. Those damn wheels are sooooo wide. I really regret not getting bigger tires now
I guess i'll try tomorrow at work (BMW). I guess they must use an air blaster machine to blast these tires on in one shot, cause you sure as hall can't do it with a standard snap-on tire installer/remover machine.
