Help
My power-washer has tubeless tires one came off the rim because I let the air get to low. I hook up the compressor to the valve stem and let it rip. All the while I'm pulling and pushing on the tire trying to get it to seat. Nothing happens any tips or tricks? Thanks,

Take the valve stem core out, let's more air in. If that doesn't work, how high is the pressure in your compressor, may need to take it somewhere that can push more air.

A ratcheting strap does the trick. I've used it to blow up hand-truck tires, small tractor tires, etc. Put the strap around the tire and connect the two ends and ratchet it so that the tire gets pushed up around the bead. Then fill with air and loosen the strap as the tire begins to fill and the tire seats correctly.

HAHA he was wearing docksiders and sweatpants.....
We used to do that with tractor tires back in the day. But we made a flammable trail to them so we weren't so close.

Classic! I was literally laughing out loud!
