Winter is here, and I was fixing up a snowblower for my side gig as a mechanic when I used a trick I thought was worth sharing. Among other things, the snowblower had some leaking tires that needed attention. I opted to install inner tubes to save the client some money, but sometimes tire beads can be difficult to seat. While seating the bead in this case wasn’t necessary for inflation, it was still required for a proper tire installation. Either way, this tip should help with both tubed and tubeless applications and save you a lot of headache on stubborn tires.
