Bead Leaks

[roaniecowpony]

Is a 5hp 20 gallon compressor enough to seat the bead on a 37 maybe with a ratchet strap around the tire? Or is ether the way to go if you only have the typical home garage air compressor?

I farted around with a ratchet strap, no luck. It wasn't about how big the compressor is. You need to get some minimum seal before a schrader has enough flow to seat the bead. The other way is starter fluid (or other flammable) or one of those tanks with a big leaf blower tube like thingies. But the fluid thing is really a non-event and pretty safe n sane.
