This video delves into the science behind setting tire beads that have become unseated, and mounting a tire on a wheel using a controlled explosion. Following is a transcript of this video.

Additionally, the baking process stiffens and seats the tire bead, which creates tires that are often easier to install and pressurize. In some cases (Boeing 737NG as an example), a retreaded tire ...

One of the obvious signs of a healthy, hardy corn crop can also present major headaches for those working in it.

Supporting-ring system run-flat tires employ a stiff rubber (or other rigid material) ring attached to the tire or wheel bead. (The bead is where a tire seals itself to the wheel assembly.) The tire's ...

When it comes to the pressure of mountain and gravel bike tires, a few psi either way can make a big difference in ...

Radial Tires ®: These tires are constructed with layers of fabric known as plies that run radially across the tire from bead to bead. The layers are placed perpendicular to the centerline of the tire.

Most tire pressure gauges have a small dot or bead on the backside that is designed to be pressed into the center of the valve stem, releasing air. Step 8 Now that you’ve released some air ...

While Bike Ahead is mostly known for 6-spoke monocoque wheels, their Three Zero line-up delivers 3 types of lightweight & ...

Radial tires feature a casing made of rubber-coated steel cables that arc from one bead to the other. Rubber-coated steel plies are placed under the tread. Radial tires often make the most sense ...

Racers use an abrasive paint around the bead of the wheel, where the tire meets the rim, to combat the problem on race cars. The Z/28's engineers tried it, but it wasn't strong enough to prevent ...
