Reply to: Replacing Cat Trax Tires

[quote=Dogboy]Just a quick follow up, this turned out to be a pretty easy job. Tubes showed up today and installed in about 20 minutes each. Popping the bead off was just a matter of getting a prybar between the tire and rim and separating the two while pushing on the tire. Once the tire is separated, cut off the old stem. Then I put a healthy coating of talc on the tube and inside the tire and inserted the tube. I threaded the stem through the hole in the wheel and inflated the tire until it started to get firm. Then I coated the edge of the tire with dish soap and kept pumping (I used a bicycle pump). The bead seated itself 90% of the way around. Then I just bounced the tire on the un-seated side and it popped on the rest of the way. The sidewalls of the tires have some dry rot, but hopefully this gets me a few more leak-free years. Thanks for all who provided advice. sm[/quote]
