Tire lost bead?
OK, have bad tire but was going to put some air in it and see if it would hold till I got her up the road a bit to my shop. The tire has a plug in it but lost bead and won't take air.
Solutions or should I just trailer it? |

Take the valve out of the stem and blow it with any decent pump or compressor (don't go over the max pressure stamped on the sidewall of the tire).
Some lubrication and putting pressure on the perimeter of the tire will help. After the bead is set, insert the valve and pump as normal.
