Mounting 420s

How do yall mount 305 50 20 on 20x12? this shop has my truck and with 6 people they can't get them mounted.

 

[pog]

go to another shop.

I've tried two shops and it only has two tires on it so I can't drive the truck

Are they having trouble seating the bead or getting the tire on the wheel?

 

[Clifford_6.4]

Seating the bead ...they're telling me the tire needs to stretch 5+ inches

That's when I have to pull out the good ol' cheetah tank. Very carefully. But it works great. Too bad you're not closer. I'm near augusta. Ga.

 

[powerstroked08]

Either!

 

[johnp115]

Shouldn't be that difficult and is not stretching 5 inches lol. A cheeta or two and set the wheel on blocks with the tire hanging. It'll go.

Lol it's a .5 inch stretch on each side. I had trouble with my first set on 20x12s but all the rest have been first shot. Make sure the tires are warm and pliable and don't be scared of a cheetah or two. That shop doesn't know what they're doing.

"don't be scared of a cheetah or two."

Man! Have you ever tried to catch a cheetah? Let alone, two? I'd be very scared!

:lame:

 

[Jbenso127]

Haha yeah. I've had a few almost bust me in the chin. Wanna look like a boss, you gotta work like a boss!

They got the tires mounted...the one guy that wasn't at the shop yesterday came in and said he could do it easy. I bet he's got a big ego now haha
