Yes it is. Yokohama put a warning not to exceed 40psi if bead isn’t seated right on the side wall. Never heard such a thing before this.

No one is saying that. The psi I’m referring to is the tire manufacturers recommendation not to exceed 40psi if the bead has not seated. Most places on the interweb say the same. I hit it with the cheetah @ 140psi and I think I heard the tire laugh at me. Plus it’s a 10 ply, prolly need the...

I put the tire outside and ran an air hose to it from inside. Used a gun type air chuck where I could remotely fill it. Filled slowly until it popped. I had a 8 inch wall and 80 gallon compressor between me and the wheel. I watched a buddy shatter his arm from a side wall blowout a couple...

so I was a chicken sh!t with the pressure. Had it just below 60psi before. Popped at 65psi. Back in the day we never had those warnings of 40psi on the old style machine. Just air it up until it pops. Thanks for the help all!

I’ve let them sit in the sun, used an inferred lamp for drying auto paint, heat gun.

Curious to know how high of psi can I pump into the tire safely? Obviously the internet says 40psi, tires says 40psi on the side wall. I know some of you experienced guys have went higher. I went to 60psi. How much higher without having a catastrophe? Or should I just go with ether?

I’ve tried tire lube as well. Can’t remember the brand, but it is specifically made for mounting/sealing tires.

I tried a mini sledge and a dead blow hammer. I bounced the **** out it as well. Man I’ve tried a lot of things! Back to more air and lube…….the tire and everything I can find online says a not to go past 40 pounds to seat bead. I went to 60. You’re saying keep going?

Can’t get new tire bead to seat on new wheels. Mounted with tire machine in my shop. Go to air it up, bottom bead completely seats, but top bead seats all the way around except across from valve stem. It’s about a half inch gap. Maybe about a 1/5th of the way around the bead. It will hold...

I contacted the lift manufacturer, I’m good to go. They said my assumptions were correct. BTW, I will say AGAIN that I used the correct equipment. New bit, etc. Not my first spinning anchor, just the first stubborn one that would still spin after welding something to the bolt and using other...

HAHA. Very true!

I appreciate the reply. I've done a ton of mechanical work in my day, but just needed a little reassurance. You would think with all the bright minds in this world, there would be a fool proof anchor. Maybe start selling these lifts with epoxied anchors? Anyways, thanks again!

Installing a 2 post lift (not my first one). 8 out of 10 anchors worked just fine. 2 spin out. I used the proper tools, etc. (I know someone will be foaming at the mouth to ask even though it is irrelevant at this point). Can't pull them, can't relocate the lift, concrete too thick to pound...

Yes I’ve leaked tested. Thanks for the info guys!

I got a minisplit and installed my lineset. The lineset is 20 ft. The charge is held in the compressor. I vacuumed my lines and everything is ready to release the charge into the lineset. The instructions say that pre charge length is 25ft. It also shows how much extra charge per foot for...
