Heads Up: 10.50-16 directional tyres

[Phil Waterman]

Hi

Just read this and Bob's thread, and something that I didn't see or missed were I've had better luck mounting tire when the are warm, being more flexible.

Also if the tires have been stacked unmounted it tends to flatten them which changes the angle of the bead. My solution was to put an inner tube in them and inflate them till the beads are slightly wider than the rim and then let them heat cycle couple of times. By heat cycle I mean getting the tire as a unit up to around 80F. This seems to help getting them to go on.

Then on to Bob's tricks.

Cheers Phil
