[AT] tire tools was brand

[Brian VanDragt]

I have some small tire questions for somebody.  I have several tubeless lawn tractor and lawn tractor implement tires. that always go flat.  I am assuming the beads leak because sometimes on the tractor it won't leak down if the tire is parked in a certain position, but when the valve stem is behind the spindle, it always goes flat, when it is the hardest position to get to.  So I bought some bead sealer, new stems, and a stem puller from Miller Tire and a small tire changer from Harbor Freight to fix these tires.  My question is how do you use the bead sealer and a mounting lubricant at the same time?  Do you lube the tire, install it, remove the lube, apply the sealer, then inflate?

However, If I had them mounted, it would be nearly $500, so I think I made a pretty good day's pay.  Due to the difficulty or expense of mounting tires, I will only buy new when replacing tires.   Do it once and forget it....   As I said before, stay away from SPEEDWAY tires...They do not fit.. I spent over $250 in tubes and lost over $200 in alcohol fluid due to these tires...
