To get a trailer tire back on the rim, use a soapy water solution to help the tire bead seat. Angle the rim and tire. Use a rubber mallet to push the bead down without hitting the edge. A cranking strap can pinch the tire together for a tight fit. Always follow safety precautions during this process.
Next, place the tire on a clean, flat surface. Apply a generous amount of the soapy solution to the rim and tire bead. This will reduce friction and make the mounting process easier. Use tire levers to carefully push the tire bead onto the rim, working from one side to the other. Be gentle to avoid damaging the tire.
After the tire bead is seated, inflate the tire slowly with the compressor or pump. Check for leaks by inspecting the bead area for any air escaping. If necessary, repeat the mounting process until it is correctly in place.
Once you have securely mounted and inflated the tire, your trailer will be ready for use. In the next section, we will explore safety tips for maintaining trailer tires and ensuring optimal performance while on the road.
