[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 31210, member: 3290"] I had a go at mounting them today. [B]HOLY *BLEEEEEP*!!!![/B] These things are a nightmare!! I have a Coates 4040 tire machine, so I thought “No Problem“, little bit of instant gratification seeing nice new rubber on my shiny “new” rims. NOT!! After about a half hour of wrestling with the first one, I was only able to get one bead over the rim, the second one wouldn't go over for love nor money. The side walls have absolutely no give to them, and the tread cap is even stiffer. I am beginning to question whether I would even need to put air in them, assuming I can ever get them mounted. One of the local dealers has a rim clamp tire machine, I think I am going to take advantage of their flat rate tire mounting offer and let them sweat over these %$#@* things. [/QUOTE]
