What the gentleman in the video is doing is a very effective means of sealing a bead. The tire must now be filled with air. You can use the same technique for a wheel barrow, dolly, truck tire , ... Etc.

Me too! It works but doesn't...

mythbusters busted it's effectiveness!

@ArnAriel13 u saw mythbusters just now to huh
-
BUSTED!

@mancamiatipoola You are exactly correct. You must inflate with air compressor before driving on it, as this only seats the bead. You can see this tire in this video deflate some right at the end.

this trick was busted on mythbusters

Yea it inflaes the tire BUT it causes a vacume effect, and if you put ANY pressure on it, it deflates.

The tire wasn't 'inflated' but merely reseated on the rim. Works OK if that's all you got to reseat the tire to the rim. The hazard of doing it better be worth the risk.

@mancamiatipoola depends on the tire manufactures tire inflation recommendations but typically 4X4s run lower pressure for a larger foot print in off road environments. the amount of end result PSI depends on barometric pressure, the amount and kind of accelerant used, volume of tire and wheel assembly and weather or not the valve stem has been removed.. I do this with farm equipment occasionally, I advise letting as much unburned gas out as possible because some solvents will eat the tire
you can use gas too i did that once

It's safer to use Aerosol sprays, as they only burn the fuel you spray into the rim. Gas will burn the tire along with the fuel.
