Fast trekker tires wont seal up

[300exQuadracer]

i got some titan fast trekker rear tires 20/10/9 on stock rims and i cant get the suckers to seal up at the bead i have taken them up to 50psi allready and they still leak around the bead, there brand new and i`m perty shure my wheels arent bent i tried silicon and rubber bead sealant and both of those didnt work help me out if you got any ideas, cause i dont really want to put tubes in

I installed dozens of tires on ATV rims and the way I get it to seal is soapy water. I cover the tire/rim in it then I pump it up and if it still don't seal I bounce it on the ground until it does....works everytime ;)

you can't get them to pop? or when you put them on they leak? how much PSI you run in them? and how bad are the leaks?

[300exQuadracer]

ok the tires are on the rim and when they have roughly 5-7 psi in them like there supposed to they leak around the bead bad enough to be flat in like 20 min of riding

wow i would clean the rims you could have something on the rim....you have a tire changer or you pay to get them put on? also you positive the rims aren't out of round? they could be the tire....have they done this since installed?

mine did that too i have the same size tires as u on stock rims.

but only my right back one leeks its like right on the spot where the tire meets the rim. it sucks i just got the tires too and have had them set 2 times now and even had slim installed from the honda store.

[300exQuadracer]

they have leaked ever since i got them but the tires that where on before never leaked, and yes i do have a tire changer so it isnt costing me to take them off and on theyve been off 3 times now i think

RiPPiNiTuP7 i have tried that too, i allways use lube when seating the beads, also i`ve tried tie downs wrapped around the tire even tried beating on the tire with a 10lb semi tire breaker

[honda 400ex 69]

ya my old tires never leaked either just my new fast trakkers so it cant be the rim.

umm you might wanna try to put a tie down around the tire and tighten it. then pump it up... should pop into place

[toby400ex]

have your tires madse the magic pooping sound yet, which means the bead has seated, if they havent let the air out then put some of that greasy hand cleaner stuff on the bead area, it works GOOOD

most guys dont know it but they are running blems. that is why sometimes there is a great price difference in the same tire. you could have a bad bead or a flaw in the bead maybe.

yea, the beads have been seaded, and i would know cause i work at an auto shop and alls i do is change tires all day

I've got 20-11-9's on stock rims and have no problems.
I do know that some laces are selling blems and this isn't good.
Did you check before you put them on to make sure that you got all the extra molded flashing off the inside of the bead.
Sometimes this can fold under and get between the tires and wheel and then it leaks on both sides of this little piece etc. etc.
Hope this helps...............
