  • @lifeline5288 It works by rapid expansion of hot gas but once the hot gas cools it will you're back to sqaure one. It does not work.

  • @gammarotor probably about 40 psi but when it cools down it makes a vaacum so the best is to quickly remove the valve and put an air compressor to fill the tire as quickly as possible

  • What pressure does it get up to?

  • @AANate007 the explosion of ether expands the tire enough to set the bead. once you have done that you need to quickly get air too it. oh n me n my dads done that before on a semi tire :):)

  • yeah can someone explain how this works exactly

  • That's so cool.

    I have heard of this technique, but never seen it before.

    Total radness dudes :) .

  • all he did was set the beed it's not fixed still needs air if you dont have a pump you are still fucked.

  • someone please explain the science behind this....

  • that is pretty slick-didn't know you could do that. Don't know if I'd try it though.
