I did the C clamp method of accessing and changing out my valve stems as one of mine was splitting, even though they were supposed to be the better ones.
Each tire was initially only moved off the rim enough to get access but, one of the tires beads eventually pulled away from its bead completely on that side.
My question pertains to setting the bead on the tires which is, can the beads be seated without having heard a "POP" on either of them? The bead indicator lines look good.I filled them to their 36 psi. However, I only used a 100 PSI tank compressor so not tremendous pressure there, they filled up slowly of course. I only filled the tires to proper inflation 36 psi. I did use soapy water to help guide them then, used more to watch for leaks. Everything seems ok, but have become paranoid after hearing some general stories about tires coming off the rims, yikes!
