I received some ride on tire sealant for my birthday and am curious about the install process. It says to take off the valve stems and deflate the tire fully and pour in the correct amount then reinflate. I can handle that but if the tire comes off the rim during the process I can't handle that.

So what are the chances I unseat the tire from the rim by full deflation?

Thanks :thumbup:

No, it will not.

If you need to break the bead in the future... A large C clamp will work but cover the metal on the clamp with some cloth to avoid marring the rims.

nope. pretty difficult to unseat a tire from the rim. thats why they have a pneumatic machine to do it at the shop.
