Tires comming off the beed

[Honda TRX250ex]

i was looking at my quad this morning and noticed that my rear razrs were not seated on the beed. i put air into them till they got rock hard. but when i took some or the air out of them when i got home from school they were off the beed again. they are the right tires and the fit the rims. (rocky mountain said they will fit and a auto place that i got the tires mounted said that they are the right size.


Why are they comming off the beed? am i doing somthing wrong. should i run the tires rock hard for a while?
please help

First off were they ever even seated on the bead? or are you pumping them up so much they look seated? Read on the tires and see what the max PSI rating is...spray some luberacant around the bead and pump them up to max psi and let them set till you hear a loud pop.

As added help you can also wrap a tie-down around it (center of tire) and remove the valve stem insert when you inflate the tire. I have found that doing both will help when you can't get it seated correctly.

Are they new rims? If the rim is damaged the tire might not beed properly.

no the rims arent new nor damange.

caugh, beadlocks. caugh....

beadlocks will leak too if you don't put them on correctly. ;)

maybe you could post the sizes/numbers off your tires & rims???????? that would probably help clear alot up :)

NOT all tire stores know wht they are talking about :D It sounds to me you didn't "seat" the bead BUT if the tire store did it then something else is going on I"d say :)

I took a set of mine to a brake and tire shop to get mine put on and they didnt seat the bead right either so i did the tie down trick to seat them myself.
