HELP! tyre bead damage

Post by Challleng[R] »

Gday all,

im in a bit of hot water, after buying a set of 37" Wrangler MTR tyres, i have brought them to DAPCO to be told that they cant be fitted as they were not sealing due to tears in a majority of the bead which cam from when they were taken off.

Is it possible to fit tubes to these or get a earthmover/truck repair place to fix the beads?

Running tubes should be fine.

I heard tubes were illegal?

Id be going back to the place where they were taken off and demanding them to be fixed or replaced.

Where did you buy them from?

Tubes. Tubes aren't illegal.

I own lots of tyres with bead damage from removal/refitting. Not sure I've seen any so bad I couldn't get the beads to seat though.

It's tubes or the bin I'm afraid.

honestly it mustn't have been a very good tyre shop and/or the balancer was a piece of crap if you had trouble balancing a tyre with a tube in it. Balancing a tyre with a major repair is harder than balancing one with a tube.

btw how did you go balancing split rims?


to the OP put some photos up so we can see how bad the beads are.
