Hi , true story - I had a neighbor in colorado that worked at the same sand and gravel company as I did . He apparently had never changed a large wheel loader tire before . I was over a mile down valley and I heard the explosion . They think he had over a hundred pounds of air in that huge tire and he was standing on top hitting it with a sledge trying to seat the retaining ring on the rim . He and the tire supposedly went in the air over 40 feet . That tire and rim weighed about 1200 lbs maybe more . He lived through it but spent a year in the hospital with almost every bone in his body broken ( literally ) . I moved here to Iowa so I don't know how he turned out but the prognosis was not good . This was twenty years ago but the message is the same - DON'T OVER-INFLATE TO SEAT BEADS ! ...Randy
