Caution mounting 15in Grabber on spoke rim

Just a word of caution about getting the 205/70R15 Grabber UHP seated on the rim. I personally will not attempt to do this again. I thought that by using professional tire bead lubricant it would not be very difficult to seat the bead. This stuff is slicker than snot and probably works better than anything else. After numerous attempts over a 20 hour period it did finally seat but required 90 psi and a lot of patience. I feel lucky not to have exploded the tire and been injured as some others have.
Anyone trying this needs to be aware of the danger involved. I am glad I have it done now, but will not try it again.

It sometimes takes a little more psi then that to get the bead to set, that's why it's helpfull to be away from the tire when doing so. I know some have riged it up so they can moniter the tire and shut off the air as soon as it sets without touching the tire.

Every one here mounts the tires at their own risk. Mounting tires, wether car or bike is always dangerous and should be approached cautiously.

I mounted my Kuhmo at 110 without a clamp on air chuck and wheel bearing grease. When the first ping happened, I'm sure it looked like I'd been shot from a distance. I jumped for my LIFE!!! My friend dove behind his truck. Then we sat there laughing at each other and the second side popped.

Seating these tires is ALWAYS at your own risk! I'd recommend being smarter then me though. I don't know that I'll do it the same way again.
