I met a man yesterday at a tractor show in Fayetteville,Tn. that has a really nice 560. He had put a new set of Firestones on the rear last winter and the tires have never beaded properly.What is the most air pressure that you can safely put in the rear tires to make them set properly on the rims. Thanks JRV

I do not know about modern tires but I blew one off rim on F 20 when I was a kid. Tire did not want to pop out and I kept adding air and checking pressur at about 30/35 PSI it popped out blew off rim and tumbled me across shed.

Jack the weight off the tire,let the air out.....(dont know what to do if you have water in tire) .....if the bead is rolled in too far, turn the wheel so you can beat the tire in the roll-out direction....use a heavy hammer and a short piece of 2x4.....if the bead is out too far, turn the tire to the top and beat with hammer and 2x4.....you might try rubber lube, dish soap or WD-40.....rubber lube is best then WD-40..they will dry out.....don't use oil...it will never dry and tire could come off the rim in the future....if you have an area where the bead is out too far ...start there.....
You might try letting the jack down and see what that does to that section of the tire.....good luck..... ..Don

PS..next time use baby powder between the tire and tube.....the tube can slip inside the tire and apply equal pressure to the bead

If the tire is not centered well it may not bead up.

He may want to let the air out add soapy water and try again.

I would not go over 35 to try to bead it up.

Some tires say what not to exceed on the side wall.
