Tire Groover

Postby Don » Mon Nov 16, 2015 2:40 pm

Anyone have a tire groover available for me to borrow? I have theory about cutting the rim guard off my Pitbulls to hopefully keep them on the rim.

...or just get rid of the Pitbulls.;-)

I think it will help also how wide are your wheels vs the tire iirc people are having better luck with the rim being close to the same width

Cutting that inner bead guard off is somewhat common practice. When the tires are bagged, it acts as a lever pushing the bead away from the rim and pooping air out until it falls off the bead.

Graham, I'm running 15x8s with weld on beadlocks with 37x13.50's. I used to have 15x10s non locked and lost more beads.

Along with cutting the rim guard, I'm planning trying the gorilla tape or windshield adhesive on the safety bead trick too. I'm so tired of losing beads.

Lee, I'm too much of a cheap a$$ to ditch the pitbulls ;-)
