Shittest, cheapest the brand, more runout. Usually, not always, of course. I swapped my summer tires from bent rims onto donor's car good rims with shitty tires. Some Pirellis. All of them had massive runout. Nothing on my Goodyears. Why I had to swap? That was back in November. Some fuckhead going in opposite direction turned left into my path at intersection. Long story short I went over the substantial curb at around 50 mph. Some air time, huge jump, scrapped underbody and towing hitch. Car survived intact except for rims bent. All of them. They build them good. Volvos.

I think you suffer from way too much time to kill.π

This one is hysterical.

I don't buy and eat US made oats, etc. Forget about Cheerios, etc. Garbage loaded with sugar.

Not worth it. I mean, do the wheels, but tires are not worth the time. Also, the only way to ensure the tire is centered on the rim is to mount on complete rim, and inflate the tire. Your way would not be accurate enough. 5 bucks says.

Done that. The thing is I don't smoke, don't have lighter handy, plus throwing match in the gap is safer.

Why? I had equal success rate. Car or motorcycle tires. 100 %. You may wanna flatten the end of the nozzle with hammer, and cut off that little tongue if it has one for mcycle wheels usage. Another thing, the opposite to the nozzle side of the wheel has to be resting against something solid like a wall, etc. Otherwise the blast will push away the wheel and no win. Like I said, next time I change tire I'll do tutorial.

Once I have some free time (probably not till I die) I'll do tire changing refreshment course.

I had no idea there was a such of method. Zip ties. Watched someone on YouTube. Hilarious, really. I think it is pretty retarded. Lol. It took long time to throw those zip ties on, compress the tire and remove zip ties. I would had that tire in and out in no time. And those big ass zip ties are not exactly cheap. Plus good luck trying to inflate the tire without waiting 2 hours for the poor thing to return to its intended shape. People will do some pretty retarded things instead of just learning proper techniques, and/or getting right tools. Like when tire refuses to inflate. I've seen straps around, etc, and the effing tire still refuses to cooperate. Proper tool is cheetah bead seater. Stupid 70 bucks. It takes 15 seconds to seat the bead. And it can serve as portable air tank at race track. Plus at the and of day you can discharge it into some innocent bystander's ass. π Hilarity factor. And so on. Like grease to fill the gap, lol.
